Star jockey William Pike is poised to chase more interstate success with the man of the moment snapped up for a prime pair of Group One rides in the TAB Classic and Australasian Oaks at Morphettville next week.
The Wizard of the West will continue his association with the Tony and Calvin McEvoy-trained Sisstar in the TAB Classic (1200m), also known as the Robert Sangster Stakes, on May 1.
He piloted the improving mare, which is a full-sister to the McEvoys’ former superstar Sunlight, to victory last Saturday in the Listed Bel Esprit Stakes (1100m) at Caulfield.

This stunning Pierro colt ticked all the right boxes at the Inglis Premier Sales. Not only is he a spitting image of his Champion Sire, his dam MISS PROMISCUITY needs no introduction and made her own mark in her day - one of the nicest breeding matchups we ve seen!
Why this boy received top marks from Michelle:
> PEDIGREE - He received a 10/10 mark here. Sire is a gun and the Dam really caught my eye!
> BOLD ATTITUDE - He moves with real purpose, has his ears pricked, and has a great presence about him
> ATHLETE - He s a really forward moving colt and the type to get up & running early for us!

Continuing a winning trend that could result in a personal best this season, Rockhampton trainer Ricky Vale came very close to annexing a winning treble at Callaghan Park races on Tuesday.
Vale produced tough Drumbeats seven-years-old gelding Meatball (Elly Smith, $3.60) for a last stride nose win over Electrified (Ryan Wiggins, $2.60) as his first winner in the BM 72 (1600m).
It was Meatball’s sixth race win in a 31 starts career under three trainers.
