Myross Bush horseman Doug McLachlan prepared El Nino for the Kindergarten and two other wins. Murray Brown also notched a training success with El Nino, while Mosgiel's Craig Buchan trained the gelding to win twice.
El Nino, when trained by Buchan, finished second to Glencoe VC on the grass in the Cromwell Cup in January.
Frances Dances (third), Nicola Jaccka (sixth) and The Odd One (ninth) were other ex-Southlanders to race on the Wagga card.
