Prebble on fast track

DECORATED jockey Brett Prebble will return to a city track shortly to renew his riding career in Melbourne and he realises a lot has changed.

One thing he doesn’t intend to change after 15 years based in Hong Kong is where he will sit in the jockeys’ room – and that’s next to his great mate Damien Oliver.

“I’m not going to know many of the boys but I’ll get Vin Mills, the head valet, to get in early and get my spot next to Ollie. We’re good friends but we’ve also got a good rivalry,” Prebble said. “I’m excited about it. It’s going to be a great challenge as a lot has changed here. I don’t know many of the jockeys or the trainers.”
