Kayla Crowther can celebrate her big season in the saddle winning the $107,250 Listed Lightning Stakes aboard the James Cummings-trained Kallos at Morphettville on Saturday.

The Godolphin-owned Kallos brings an impressive form line to Adelaide for late season two and three-year-old feature.

The Medaglia D'Oro colt has won two races, a maiden at Hawkesbury before winning the Group 2 Danehill Stakes over 1100mm at Caulfield back in the Spring.

He finished down the track behind Home Affairs in the Group 1 Coolmore Stud Stakes and comes to Morphettville on the back of two trials in Sydney.

It's been a memorable year for Kayla Crowther who has ridden 110-1/2 winners in season 2021-22 and will win her first South Australian Jockey Premiership when the season finishes up on Saturday.

Since finishing second at her first race ride at Naracoorte back in February 2017, Crowther has ridden 469 winners.

The new season will also start a new chapter for Crowther who will have a new manager with Melissa Shield taking over from Nick Pinkerton.
