Hallcroft enjoyed a night out with two winners and two second placings from his five drives at Leeton.
He and Jack Painting drove five of the eight winners between them, as the David Kennedy stable enjoyed a winning treble on the night.
Hallcroft kicked off his night by piloting White Pointer ($19) to victory for Whitton trainer Noel Maxwell in the second heat of the Golden Apple Super Store NR50 Championship (2147m).
Hallcroft then made it a race-to-race double when he took out the third heat with First Prize ($3.90).
Hallcroft trains First Prize and the mare got her own way in front and dashed away to score by 12 metres.
Kennedy and Painting won with Coolhand Easton ($1.45), Courageous Ways ($1.30) and Eagles Response ($1.75).
The Leeton carnival will conclude with the club's Pacers Cup meeting on New Year's night, January 1.
