The trainer and jockey combined for two wins from the opening three races at Warren with Larynx in the second race before Winter Moon stormed home in the third of the day.

Following the race, Thompson told Sky Thoroughbred Central he felt Gallagher rode Winter Moon to perfection in the Qube Logistics Class 2 Handicap.

"Rippa that led the first one in, he is in a fair few horses with us, they are two of his," he said.

"I told him it would be worth his will coming up today and it was.

"Clayton rode him a treat.

"We were hoping to be in the first four or five but I said when he jumps just make a decision.

"He jumped that easy and got across easy.

"He ran really good."
