It's great to see popular Michael Walker get his chance to crack a Grp 1 winner in Victoria when he rides the super-smart Sincero in the Underwood Stakes at Caulfield. He's nabbed the ride due to Michael Rodd being required for December Draw. Walker is hoping he can retain the ride through the spring. The Kiwi finished 14th in the Victorian jockeys' premiership last season with 71 winners, and he's started the current season in dazzling form. From 154 rides - the most any jockey has taken in Vic
It's great to see popular Michael Walker get his chance to crack a Grp 1 winner in Victoria when he rides the super-smart Sincero in the Underwood Stakes at Caulfield. He's nabbed the ride due to Michael Rodd being required for December Draw. Walker is hoping he can retain the ride through the spring. The Kiwi finished 14th in the Victorian jockeys' premiership last season with 71 winners, and he's started the current season in dazzling form. From 154 rides - the most any jockey has taken in Victoria - Walker has 24 winners. It's the feature races he wants to win, though. His only Australian Grp 1 winner came in 2004 on Danestorm in the Brisbane Cup, which has since been downgraded to group 2 status.
