Waller reaches for Skye
Bogenhuber gets ride on Sacred Rebel again
POPULAR jockey Skye Bogenhuber will need plenty of luck to go out a winner from Brisbane racing when she rides Sacred Rebel at Doomben on Saturday.
Bogenhuber was a late replacement on Sacred Rebel at Caloundra last Saturday week and duly won.
Trainer Chris Waller has rewarded her by retaining her to ride the gelding in the Three-Year-Old Handicap (1615m) this weekend.
A five-time Toowoomba premier jockey who has ridden more than 600 winners, Bogenhuber is moving to Scone.
She hopes to be settled in the NSW Hunter Vaslley centre, where she will ride for trainer Brett Cavanough, by the start of the new season next week.
Sacred Rebel’s chances took a nosedive when he drew barrier 21 meaning if the emergencies don’t start he will jump from 14.
Waller’s Gold Coast stable manager Paul Shailer said at this stage Sacred Rebel would still run.
“Of course that can all change after Chris has a look at things. But he needs this run and the distance suits,” Shailer said.
“He and Skye will just need some luck.”
