How well has Jason Maskiell being riding since he arrived at Mick Price’s stable?
On September 19 on Tribunal and Romneya he went to another level in my mind.
Instead of riding to instructions regardless of the situation — as a young apprentice could be forgiven for doing, mind you — he took it on himself and got his mounts to the front and from there it was game over.
Also both his rides on Eagle Falls have been sensational, riding a horse that does get back a bit in his races. To win easily both times around Moonee Valley was fantastic.
Obviously over the next couple of months things will die down a bit with the spring carnival but I would be more than happy to continue backing his mounts with peace of mind that he will give the horse every possible chance.
