Always Ready ($1.70 favourite) saluted in the $90,000 two-year-old trotting colts and geldings final, 2240m, and Kinvara Sue ($2.90) landed the money in the $90,000 4yo trotting mares’ final, 2240m.
They completed a treble for the Cardigan stable after Dance Craze ($1.10 favourite) won the Graeme Maher Memorial Trot, 2240m.
All three scored after leading.
Always Ready has three wins and two seconds in five starts for $78,000 in stakes.
Kinvara Sue made it back-to-back VSS titles in notching her 12th career success and taking her earnings to $157,000.
Golino also had a second with 3yo filly Pretty Majestic and third with 2yo filly Par Ici in other trotting finals.
Golino now sits fourth in the Victorian trainers’ premiership with 65 wins.
Ballarat’s Emma Stewart is a tearaway leader on 225 and is well placed to add to the tally with a dominant hand in VSS pacing finals at Melton on Saturday night.
Golino is third with 17 in the metropolitan premiership, which Stewart also leads with 43 wins.
