TOP JOCKEYS PREPARE FOR AUTUMN CARNIVAL

A host of the best jockeys in New South Wales were at Broadmeadow today, as the build-up to the busy Autumn carnival continues.

Following a successful stint in Hong Kong, Christian Reith is home and looking to jump-start his domestic career in 2016.

On Saturday, he’ll ride three-year-old, Le Romain, at Rosehill for Newcastle trainer Kris Lees, in the Group 2 Hobartville Stakes.

“It’s still learning what it’s doing, it was a little aggressive in its run the other day. On Saturday we’ll let it find its own spot, it can relax and show that turn of foot that it’s got,” said jockey Christian Reith.
