Four must be Ryan Farquhar's lucky number, because the Q8Oils supported rider won the Superbike, Grand Final, Supersport 600cc and Supertwins races at the Mid Antrim 150 - his fourth successive four-timer.

With changeable weather across the British Isles, practice conditions were wet, although Saturday's showers held off long enough for the race schedule to go ahead. Riding his 1000cc KMR Kawasaki, Ryan took a commanding 6.4 second win in the opening Superbike race. The following Supersport 600cc race was a much closer affair, red-flagged as a result of Michael Dunlop crashing out. In the re-run Ryan was under pressure from William Dunlop, crossing the line just 1.7seconds ahead of him for victory number two.

Ryan controlled the 4-lap Supertwins race from the front, winning by almost 20 seconds on the Kawasaki ER-6 and then led the Grand Final from start to finish on his ZX-10R Kawasaki, winning by over 7 seconds. He also set the fastest lap of the day at 106.724mph. Speaking later Ryan said, "It's been quite a tricky day due to the weather and although the rain held off during the races, apart from a few spots here and there, the track was slippy throughout as a lot of dirt had been dragged on to the circuit. Overall, it's been another excellent weekend - I don't know when this run will end but hopefully it will keep going on for a few races yet!"

Farquhar has won 49 races this season, bringing his career total to 114, just five behind the legendary Joey Dunlop's all-time high of 119. Ryan's next race will be at the newly-introduced Armoy Road Races on Saturday coming 8th August.
