Rarely has a meeting gone by in recent times without the stable emerging without at least one winner, when in attendance.
That trend continued with the six-year-old pacing gelding, driven by Glenn Douglas, backing up from his victory at Tabcorp Park Melton on Friday night to make it two wins in on the trot.
Junior Feelgood, by Mr Feelgood out of Shirleys Fancy, notched up his fifth career win from 56 starts.
Importantly it was Douglas' 88th win this season, further extending her lead at the top of the state trainers' premiership.
A prolific last week for the stable was capped by the resurgent Vandanta's brilliant win at Tabcorp Park Melton on Saturday night.
The stable notched a double at last Thursday night's meeting at Echuca with Western Ricki and Ozzie Joy.
A combined three winners on Friday at Melton and Mildura was highlighted by a double at Victorian harness racing headquarters with stable newcomer Chasing A Hat Trick and Junior Feelgood, both driven by Glenn Douglas.
The trifecta of wins was complemented by a third-straight to Khaki Nui at Mildura on Friday afternoon.
Douglas has trained 15 winners for the month, putting her in sight of bettering her 2021 season-best 18 wins, achieved in June.
She also produced 14 winners in May.
Junior Feelgood, a modest 41-rater before his win on Monday, has been in solid form over the last three months with four wins and four placings from 11 starts.
Bendigo region trainers took out three of the nine races contested, with Leigh Graham notching a win with the four-year-old pacer Self Exclusion and trainer Kate Hargreaves and driver Alex Ashwood combining in the last with Roquefort Cheese.
It was a fourth win in 25 starts for Roquefort Cheese, who was fourth-up, after a lengthy spell.
Races two to eight at Maryborough were pushed back 35 minutes after a nasty spill in the opening race involving See You There and Miss Tyler, with drivers Richie Caruana and David Miles both transported to hospital with suspected wrist injuries.
