Amanda Turnbull came within a head of steering four winners at the Parkes Harness Racing Club’s meeting on Sunday.

Having guided Blacklist ($1.04 favourite), Our Novak ($1.80 favourite) and Montana Maestro ($3.60) to success, she was chasing one more in the final race of the day with her chance Greenngold ($3.10 favourite).

But the honours in the Join The Owners Association Pace (1,660 metres) belonged to Brown’s Creek trainer-driver Leigh Davis.

His $12 outsider Rays Choice showed good speed from barrier four to take the lead, his cause helped when Laser In Flight galloped behind him.

While The Emma Turnbull driven Poppy Cee ($6.10) took over the lead down the back straight for the final time and Greenngold made a three-wide charge, Rays Choice continued to fight.

He put in one final surge to take the win by a half head over Poppy Cee, with Greenngold a further half head back in third.
