Coleman landed at double at Ballarat on Saturday - repeating his kennel's performance at the first of the early starts at Morshead Park a week earlier.
He scored with Flaunt It Ollie, having his fifth race start in a 390m maiden, and Ollie Ambo in a grade 7, 390m.
Robert Camilleri, also of Lara, was another trainer to get a double.
He claimed back-to-back races with Maximum Refusal in a grade 5, 545m, and Zipping Norton in a grade 5, 450m.
An odds-on favourite, it was Zipping Norton's second win on the track in the space of four days.
Ashlee Terry took her tally of winners to three over the two meetings when Amlin Storm took out a grade 6, 390m.
GRV now takes the initial three-week trial for Saturday morning fixtures to Shepparton.
Ballarat Greyhound Racing Club manager Rod Ward said the new timeslot had been well received by trainers and members.
He said the club had been thrilled to get the opportunity to take on the additional meeting, on top of the regular Monday and Wednesday fixtures.
Ward said Ballarat consistently received more nominations than any other track in the state. "It's a matter of meeting demand with supply," he said.
