For the second year running, Jackson Radley has ensured a Northern Tasmanian sporting club wins $10,000.
After riding Dantes home for Westbury Cricket Club last year, Radley led Vino Novello to victory for Riverside Cricket Club at Wednesday's Launceston Cup meet.
Fourteen Northern Tasmanian sporting clubs were assigned a horse within race four, much to the delight of Riverside life member Peter Scott.
"It's absolutely unbelievable, 10 grand, it's so important to get a gift like that - it's absolutely off the charts," he said.
"We've been working on trying to floodlight the outdoor practice area, so that will go a long way for helping us get additional funding to do that. It gives us a great head start, so that's fantastic.
"He was always bolting and I knew Jacko would get him out, he's one of the best jockeys going around."
The John Blacker-trained four-year-old saw off the challenges of Johnnie Pinch and Moorlands Miss who were representing Evandale and Bridport football clubs respectively, earning them $5000 and $2500.
The race was a part of the Ladbrokes Community Sports Series initiative, with 40 clubs represented across the state.
A total of $78,000 was given away across three races on the days of the Devonport, Hobart and Launceston Cups, with Penguin Cricket Club and Beltana Bowls Club taking home the $10,000 earlier this year.
