Corey Brown will ride her in the Telegraph on Jan 22 (Opie can't get down to the weight).

Sorry for Opie but that's a pretty good choice, isn't it?

I don't know... I like Corey.

(Was he the rider for Monaco Consul when he won the Derby?)

Yeah, that's right.

It's probably a good choice. He's definitely a great rider. But I think owners are sometimes just a bit too quick to call jockeys over from Australia. Some really good NZ jockeys will be sitting on the bench for this race.

But Katie is their horse, and I'm sure Corey will ride her brilliantly.

You've got a great point that I'm embarrassed for not thinking of.

Aaah well.

I saw this and thought of you.

They need to offer you this position!

Again there's not much stakes racing this weekend.

But there's this VERY interesting 3yo field tomorrow:

1 211 Historian 5 74 57.0 Chad Ormsby Tony Pike & Mark Donoghue, Cambridge
2 99652 Banchee 7 84 56.5 James McDonald (a) John Sargent, Matamata
3 73123 Yin Yang Master (AUS) 4 76 56.0 Mark Du Plessis John Sargent, Matamata
4 721 Powerplaya 6 68 56.0 Michael Coleman Ken & Bev Kelso, Matamata
5 19 Green Manner (AUS) 2 67 56.0 Vinnie Colgan Yves Seguin, Cambridge
6 5X115 Our Squeezer (AUS) 3 74 55.5 Sam Spratt Stephen McKee, Ardmore
7 42110 Born To Rock (AUS) 8 73 55.5 Leith Innes Stephen McKee, Ardmore
8 3441 Western Star 1 68 54.5 Samantha Collett Tony Cole, Te Kauwhata

Lots of Derby contenders here. I like Banchee (they haven't decided if they're going to the Derby with her or not yet), Historian and Yin Yang Master. I have to respect Powerplaya too - he won a maiden by 5 lengths last start.
