Appropriately the town's top two mentors Rod McDonald and Paul Braddon provided the quinella in the event, the Thanks Cowra Stakes.
McDonald's Tony's Rescue took out the event with Braddon's Blazing Azzi finishing second.
Tony's Rescue made it back to back wins backing up from a stylish win at Goulburn on Tuesday for owner Graham Codner coming from midfield early to finish over the top of the Braddon trained Blazing Azzi in a good 26.42.
The Cowra Greyhound Club decided in December last year, in conjunction with Greyhound Racing NSW and the NSW GBOTA Temora club to transfer Cowra's non TAB meetings to the Temora track.
The move means all non-TAB Cowra meetings will become TAB race meetings at Temora.
The only meetings which will be held in Cowra will be the June carnival meetings.
The Cowra success in race seven was quickly backed up by a win to Pamela Braddon's Little Trojan in the Australia Day Stakes.
Paul Braddon made it a treble for the locals when She's A Gem saluted in the ninth event.
The wins have been flowing freely for Cowra kennels in the past week with the Braddon kennel in particularly impressive form, dominating in feature events.
John Field started the ball rolling for Cowra at Thursday's Goulburn meeting with Bronze Adonis which made it win number five from 13 starts.
Woodstock's Darren Wort then chimed in with a win to Rocky's Brother, also recording its fifth win.
On Friday Paul and Pamela Braddon returned home from the Dubbo meeting with the major trophies.
Pamela kicked off the night with a win to Meeka's Girl which crossed over to lead as favourite from box 3 in the Ladbrokes Daily Video Stakes before getting back to fourth and then weaving her way through the field to score a head win in the last stride.
Paul Braddon finished the night with a treble with wins to Flaming Fury, Willow Secret and Rich History.
Flaming Fury took its career prizemoney to more than $10,000 taking out the Ladbrokes Final restricted to dogs with up to five wins.
Despite drawing box 5 Flaming Fury jumped cleanly and raced straight to the lead showing its rivals a clean pair of heals, racing away to record an easy five length win.
The win was victory number six from just 11 starts for the daughter of El Grand Senor and Janderra's Fury.
