Turnbull extends premiership lead with five more at Bathurst Harness racing Photo: Katherine Griffiths Amanda Turnbull comes from good harness racing stock but she is heading for her own piece of history this season. The 23-year-old went to 135 wins for the season and leads in the NSW premiership after driving five winners at Bathurst on Wednesday night. She is 17 wins clear and is set to become the first woman to win the state title if she can hold off Blake Fitzpatrick and Luke McCarthy. "It has been a pretty good season and dad [Steve] has some nice horses, and I have been getting a couple of outside drives as well," Turnbull said. We had a good night on Wednesday and it was the third time I have had five winners. Turnbull has only four metropolitan wins for the year and bases herself around Bathurst. "We don't really have the horses for Menangle," she said. We can win our races around Bathurst but when they go to town they find it hard. The premiership is not something Turnbull is thinking about but she wants to find a group 1 horse. Her grandfather Tony had Hondo Grattan and her father Steve will always be associated with Smooth Satin. "I would really love to win a group 1 because I haven't had that yet," she said. I think other than winning my share of races, I would really want to win a group 1 but you have to have the right horse. Meanwhile, the McCarthy stable won another group 1 when Our Sixpence won the Queen Of The Pacific on Friday night off a 10-metre mark. Our Sixpence got to the death and then put her rivals to the sword leaving the back straight to score by nine metres in a mile rate of 1:59.1. "Every season she just gets a little better," driver Luke McCarthy said. The racing certainly doesn't bother her and she is from a great New Zealand family. Hopefully she can breed a few group 1 winners herself.
