The Easterby family dominated proceedings at York when veteran trainer Mick and his nephew Tim both enjoyed doubles at their local track.
Mick Easterby, whose base is at Sheriff Hutton, missed his first meeting at the Knavesmire for many years due to ill-health, but had the best possible pick-me-up in the shape of winners Barren Brook and Nameitwhat- youlike.
Laid low with an ear infection, he would have been cheered by the 96-1 plus double which took his tally for the season at York alone to five.
Barren Brook, gambled down to 11-2 favourite, landed a smooth success by three-and-a-quarter lengths from Negotiation in the William Birch & Sons Ltd Stakes.
Nameitwhatyoulike (14-1) completed that trainer's and jockey Paul Mulrennan's brace in the SKF Rous Selling Stakes.
Dropped into selling grade for the first time and galvanised by a pair of blinkers, the Trade Fair colt opened his account with a three-quarters of a length call over Aquasulis.
Great Habton-based Tim Easterby, the son of retired trainer Peter, Mick's brother, made it a day to remember with a 337-1 duo, courtesy of Bollin Judith and Medici Time.
Bollin Judith (12-1) overcame a late scare to take the feature race on the card, the Bond Tyres Stakes, over an extended two miles.
Easterby revealed it was a close call whether to run the mare after she was found to have been bitten on her chest.
But the decision to allow her to take her chance proved right as she brought her stamina into play to collar the favourite Hawk Mountain and long-time leader Mountain Hiker to win by a neck and a head in the hands of David Allan.
Medici Time (25-1) revelled in the fast conditions for Tom Eaves to sprint to victory by a length from Magical Macey in the Charles Clinkard Fine Footwear Anniversary Stakes.
Mulrennan went one better than the two individual trainers with a near 828-1 treble when getting the Ed Dunlop-trained Dragonera (15-2) home by a head from El Torbellino in the Betfair Classified Stakes.
Church Music (15-8 favourite) lived up to his billing with a taking victory on his debut in the Acturis EBF Maiden Stakes.
The son of 2005 Gimcrack and Middle Park winner Amadeus Wolf easily disposed of his opposition.
Odin's Raven (25-1) was the sixth Yorkshire-trained winner on the seven-race card when scoring for Malton's Brian Ellison in the Future Cleaning Services Apprentice Stakes in the hands of Paul Pickard.
