Nash Rawiller's face will be added to the gallery of great jockeys in the Randwick weighing room after a winning treble on Saturday assured him of his first Sydney premiership.

Pictures of former Sydney premiership winners such as George Moore, Ron Quinton, Darren Beadman, Neville Sellwood, Mick Dittman, Shane Dye and his arch-rival from this season Corey Brown grace the wall outside the jockeys' room at Sydney racing's headquarters.

Rawiller said it was one of the first things you noticed when riding at the famous racetrack.

"Obviously when you first come up here (to ride at Randwick), the first thing you do is see the photos," Rawiller said.

"You have a good look at them and see what a few of the top jockeys here have been able to achieve.

"It's certainly going to be a great honour to have my photo up there too."

Rawiller has now ridden 90 city winners in a memorable season for the 35-year-old who was also the nation's leading Group One rider with nine majors.

He said winning a premiership was something he dreamed of when starting his career.

"It hasn't sunk in yet because I haven't actually won it yet, but it's a dream come true," he said.

"It's the sort of thing you dream of, especially coming to Sydney to do it."

The heavyweight jockey was lured to Sydney to join the powerful Gai Waterhouse stable at Randwick in the autumn of 2007 and the pair has struck up a remarkable partnership in the past three years.

"Just getting the job at Gai's was unbelievable," Rawiller said.

"I was going OK at the time but when the opportunity came up I was 32 and only battling. I was just relying on a couple of handy horses to carry me through."

He also cast his mind back to his early days when he said he probably didn't make the most of all his opportunities.

"I could have probably helped myself become a better jockey back then when I was 21, but it took me until I was about 27 to mature and realise it," he said.

"Since I got the opportunity with Gai I think I've made every post a winner.

"The first week here in Sydney I rode three Group One winners - that doesn't happen.

"You've just got to be in the right spot at the right time, and I was."

Waterhouse saw enough in Rawiller when she brought him to Sydney three years ago and said the jockey let her know a long time ago that the premiership was his burning ambition for this season.

"He's a superb horseman, a great jockey, and very much a team player," Waterhouse said.

"He's a pleasure to work with, he's always got a constructive comment on the horse he rides and we have a great association that I hope will continue for many years to come."
