Jenkinson piloted Royal Abbey to third in the LJ Hooker Bathurst Class 1 Handicap (1808m), the fourth of the afternoon, backing up to steer Hoffa Express to a third finish in the fifth, the Kennards Hire Class 1 Handicap (1108m)
Royal Abbey ($5) stormed down the inside on the home straight and was neck-and-neck with eventual winner Biscuit ($4.40) and second-finisher Gacela ($5), and missed out by less than half-a-length.
Hoffa Express, paying a ridiculous $201 to one, was even closer.
The seven-year-old chestnut mare came from the back of the field with 200 to go, eventually finishing a third-of-a-length behind winner Elite Hong Kong ($12).
Lewinski ($21) finished second by a nose.
