Bart Cummings and Gai Waterhouse are two of the best known identities in racing but at Randwick on Saturday they will be overshadowed by an even more famous name.

Meet part-time horse trainer Bridget Jones.

The English-born horsewoman has become accustomed to sharing her name with one of the most loved fictional characters of recent times and can even see some similarities.

"Yes I smoke, yes I drink, but I'm not overweight and I don't wear the underwear," Jones said.

Jones grew up with horses in England and was involved in eventing, showing and point-to-point, similar to amateur jumps racing.

She left her homeland to travel the world, eventually settling in the NSW central western town of Dubbo where, among other things, she strapped horses for several local trainers.

She has been training in her own right for three years but admits it's a balancing act as she also helps her partner Brian Currey run their business.

"I love it (training), I wish I could do it fulltime," Jones said.

"I juggle it all around but I'm very lucky to have a patient partner, he's brilliant."

She has just three horses in work headed by Murray's Sun who is nominated to take on the likes of stakes winner Dreamscape and the up-and-coming Rangirangdo in a 1200m Open Handicap on Saturday.

Murray's Son is the first horse Jones bought and she admits his biggest attraction was his $900 pricetag.

Now a five-year-old, Murray's Sun has already repaid that investment many times over.

The handy country sprinter has won eight of his 13 starts and more than $60,000 in prizemoney, although it hasn't been an easy road.

"He's had a lot of ongoing little issues," Jones said.

"I don't want to say too much about him because every time I talk about him I jinx him."

Murray's Sun has done most of his racing around the central west, although Jones did bring him to town for a midweek race two years ago.

He didn't disgrace himself, finishing fourth to Abbacina at Canterbury on a heavy track.

He will go into Saturday's race second-up after finishing ninth to Zarvista at Wellington in June when he started favourite but had no luck in the straight.

Jones has never had a runner at a city meeting on a Saturday and admits the prospect of taking on the likes of Cummings, Waterhouse and Peter Snowden is daunting.

"I'm terrified," she said.

They are big names, but then again, so is Bridget Jones.
