Bruno Neto admits there was plenty of excitement when he found out late last week that his jockey application had been approved to ride in Victoria.
As a result, punters will see the Brazilian-born jockey s name in the form guides at Murtoa on Monday for the first time. I am from Brazil and spent 15 years riding in Ireland and also in England, the 34-year-old said driving to the races on Monday. I went back to Brazil and rode Group and Listed winners and then a friend of mine said I should come to Sydney and try becoming a jockey.

The likes of Harmony Rose, Lion s Roar and Here To Shock shouldn t be far away. Tactics aboard The Elanora and Prime Star will be interesting from out wide.

Western Australia s COVID-19 scare has potentially thrown the autumn campaigns of All-Star Mile contenders Arcadia Queen and Regal Power into disarray, with both gallopers unable to trial as planned at Belmont on Monday.
The discovery a security guard had returned a positive COVID-19 test resulted in protocols being put into place in Perth on Sunday, forcing Monday s trials to be cancelled along with the closure of Perth s public training tracks.
Owner Bob Peters said on Monday the cancelled trial could impact on the autumn preparations of Arcadia Queen and Regal Power, especially as the training tracks were also closed as a response to the COVID-19 positive.
