I was talking to a friend about Hollie Doyle's 5/6 winners yesterday which led to thinking about how many jockeys have done similar or gone through the card. I recall Richard Hughes winning 7/8 at Windsor once and obviously Frankie's 7/7 ar Ascot but can anyone recall many others riding 5/6 winners or more?
I was thinking Shoemaker or Pincay must’ve gone close at some point.
Chris Antley has 9 in a day...4 at Aqueduct the afternoon then 5 at the Meadowlands in the evening.

Apprentice Hazel Schofer joined a select band of NZ riders when she rode an amazing six-timer at Hawera racecourse in the Taranaki region on Saturday [August 8 2020]. She joins James McDonald as the only apprentices to achieve the feat in New Zealand, where six senior jockeys have also won six races on a single card since 1995.

Gordon Richards went through the 6-race card at Chepstow on Wed Oct 4, 1933, and rode the first 5 winners on the next day's Chepstow card. He was beaten a head and a neck in the last race of the day on a 1/3 shot, who was trying to give 34 lb to the winner, and 30 lb to the 2nd. His last winner in the 11-race sequence had no name, and was just known as the 'Lady Swift filly', after her dam.
Phil Tuck rode 10 consecutive winners between Aug 23 and Sep 3 1986, all for Gordon Richards - 7 over hurdles and 3 over fences, but his winners were spread... Cartmel - 1 Cartmel - 4 Perth - 2 Perth - 2 Southwell - 1
Mick Fitz rode 9 in a row in 1997, again over several days, including a 4-timer.
