A wet track and a big weight are concerns for Tracey Bartley ahead of Reigning To Win's stable debut at Warwick Farm but the trainer could not be happier with the condition of the horse.

An out of sorts Reigning To Win was transferred from John O'Shea's Randwick stable to the quieter surrounds at Mudgee in the hope country life could turn his form around.

"He is a very happy horse," Bartley said.

"It's been a bit hard to get a gauge on how he's going because I've ben working him with Sniper's Bullet who beats him on the track.

"It might be that Sniper's is going exceptionally well but I'm happy to have a horse like Reigning To Win in the stable and he seems happy to be here."

Group One winner Sniper's Bullet put up a good first-up performance to finish third to Gold Trail in Saturday's Group Two The Shorts (1100m) at Randwick on a very heavy track.

After the three kilogram claim for Kody Nestor, Reigning To Win will carry 58kg in Monday's Vale Ted McCabe Welter (1200m) named for the popular racing figure who died less than two weeks ago.

As a late two-year-old, Reigning To Win beat Danleigh to win the 2006 Group One TJ Smith at Eagle Farm and continued to race in the best company at three and four.

His stakes wins include two over Raheeb during the 2007 Brisbane carnival and the following year he ran second to Apache Cat in the Group One TJ Smith Stakes at Randwick.

A couple of lacklustre runs in the autumn of this year convinced owners Trevor Stuckey and Penny Yan to give him a change of scenery.

The pair also race multiple Group One winner Racing To Win.

"They are wonderful owners," Bartley said.

"They don't interfere, they just want what's best for the horse and hopefully I can repay them."

Depending on how Reigning To Win performs, Bartley hopes to take him to Melbourne later this spring.
