Burnie's Nicholas Broxam was too quick for his rivals across the day, taking out all four under 15 races on the day and unsurprisingly winning the rider of the day award for his age group.
Launceston's Amy Wright made it a memorable trip home after claiming victory in four of her five events, including the women's wheel and scratch races, where she defeated Amalia Langham and Gigi O'Rourke on both occasions.
The Stretton family also enjoyed a productive day, with Rory crossing the line first in three under 13 events and taking rider of the day honours, Mitchell triumphing in two under 13 races and Dalton also bagging a pair of wins in the men's division, which included the A grade scratch race.
Other wheelrace wins on the day went to Jack O'Rourke in the under 17's and Eliah Cameron in the men's, while the remaining rider of the day honours went to Hayden van der Ploeg and Patty Best.
On the running track, Frankford's Emma Penney continued her good form from the opening meet of the season by taking out her second-straight women's gift.
Running from 9.75m, Penney won easily from Lucy Carter (9m) and Eve Bell (11.5m)
The men's gift was a far closer affair, with a photo finish needed before victory went to Launceston's Connor Wright (11.5m) from Jarred Gilroy (8m) and frontmarker Brendan Smart (16.5m).
Former Burnie Gift winner Daniel Reeves showed some encouraging early-season form, mowing down the rest of the field from 16m to take out the men's 400m final from Gilroy (23m) and Lachlan Bonney (20m).
Hobart's Amy Pedder (28m) was too strong in the women's 400m final, defeating Lily Overton (38m) and Chloe Bates (34m), while Thomas Wilson (115m) claimed the open 1600m handicap.
Runners and riders get their next chance to tune up for the Christmas Carnivals Series at the traditional PCCCT meeting at Burnie's West Park on Sunday.
