Ferdy Murphy praised Graham Lee after his stable jockey completed a near 37-1 treble at rainsodden Wetherby.
The West Witton trainer said: "Graham is the best jockey riding in the country - if he was with one of the big stables down south they would be raving about him.
"He is the complete jockey, you don't give him any orders and he is a great man to have on your side."
Lee was successful on Caipiroska and Dancer's Serenade, both trained by Murphy, and Sue Smith's Coe, who came home five lengths in front in the goracing.co.uk Novices' Hurdle - despite a mistake at the final flight.
Coe carries the colours of Trevor Hemmings, whose racing manager Michael Meagher said: "I love this horse. He is still a bit green and chasing will be his game."
Lee and Hemmings then teamed up to good effect as Caipiroska outclassed his rivals in the wetherbyracing.co.uk Novices' Handicap Hurdle.
The 11-10 favourite strolled into the lead at the last hurdle, where he made a mistake.
But Lee was again in command of the situation and eased away to score by 11 lengths from Pagan Rules.
