this kid is an absolute genius. He will be second in the premiership to P.harvey next season. I cant believe they dont give him more rides. He never rides a bad race, he is light, claims 3kg in the city and is strong at the finish. Related to phar laps jockey(great grandson or great great grandson) and fair dinkum can ride.

in responce to that Yoshi Yamazaki
is also a very talented jockey and aparently reminds a lot of people of zac purton and michael rodd at that point. if hes half as good as them hell be a dead set champion

Unfortunately very few ‘promising’ 3kg apprentices go on with it once their claim has been reduced - in the west at least, so get on when you can :wink:

People said the same thing about Clint Harvey - 5 wins out of last 100 rides & 3 of those wins were in trials.

Don't forget MyHatMyCoat, Clint did have that enforced break (for reasons we won't go into on this forum). Didn't do his career (or momentum at the time) any good.

Clint harvey is real good. Him and true steel have certainly had some success together. Clint is a G1 winning Jockey so your a bit hard on the kid hatmycoat

Harvey was in the custody of the state.
