Callow loving Coast life

NOEL “King” Callow has his first Saturday metropolitan ride back in Queensland but don’t expect to see him rushing back to town, with the popular jockey revealing he is happy on the Gold Coast circuit for the time being.

Having made the trip north from Victoria two months ago due to a lack of opportunity, Callow (pictured) is happy at his Gold Coast base and says he could be there for the foreseeable future if it continues to work out.

Teaming up with trainer Chris Munce, Callow will ride Boomsara in the Listed Eye Liner Stakes (1350m) where the five-year-old will look to go one better than his second placing in last year’s race.

“He ran second in the race last year, he’s drawn an OK barrier this time around and I thought his run the other day was good,” Callow said.
