Glyn Schofield's getting frustrated, and perhaps a little angry, over being taken off good rides. He's particularly upset at being dumped from Predatory Pricer. He was Predatory Pricer's rider last season and won the Gloaming Stakes and Ming Dynasty Quality on him -- and rode him to placings in the Spring Champion Stakes (2nd) and AJC Australian Derby (3rd). Connections, however, told him he wasn't required this season. They wanted a Melbourne-based rider for the horse's spring campaign. But GS enjoyed a great time last season with 62 winners, finishing 4th on the jockeys' premiership. That's a great result for a freelance rider with no firm stable attachment (apart from a good association with David Payne's stable).
