Running a small stable means Ron Quinton is hands on with little time to celebrate even a Group One win.

The former jockey prepared Ofcourseican to win Saturday's Coolmore Classic, his third Group one triumph but his first for almost a decade.

"I've only got a dozen in work and a small staff and I was rostered on for Sunday," Quinton said.

"It was my turn so there was just a quiet celebration at home."

An eight-time Sydney premier jockey, Quinton began his training career in the mid 1990s with a large stable supported by the late Millie Fox.

In 2000 he trained Easy Rocking to win the Group One Salinger Stakes and two years later prepared Bulla Borghese to win the VRC Oaks.

Over the years the numbers have dwindled but not Quinton's enthusiasm for what has been his life's work and passion.

As well as training horses, Quinton has nurtured the early careers of many young riders with Hugh Bowman the most successful so far.

While thrilled with Ofcourseican's Coolmore win, Quinton was almost as excited by Villiers Stakes winner Monton's second to More Joyous in the Group Two Canterbury Stakes as the five-year-old heads to next month's Doncaster Mile.

"He's in the Doncaster with 52-1/2 (kilograms) and can't be rehandicapped," Quinton said.

"The plan is to go to the George Ryder in two weeks and then to the Doncaster where Craig Newitt will ride him again."

The Doncaster is not on the agenda for Ofcourseican and Quinton said he and the mare's owner David Bentara would discuss the options.

"The Queen Of The Turf wouldn't really suit because she is not well placed at weight-for-age," he said.

"We don't have to rush into a decision so we'll look at the possibilities."

Ofcourseican gave jockey Kathy O'Hara a breakthrough win at Group One level.

She became just the fourth Australian woman to ride a winner at the elite level, following in the footsteps of Clare Lindop, Michelle Payne and Nikita McLean (nee Beriman).
