The city of Wagga’s ‘emblem’ is the crow which appears on the council’s coat of arms as well as branding through local businesses, with the name Wagga a Wiradjuri term for ‘place of many crows’ and from Thursday the entire city ‘takes flight’.

Trainer Matt Dale won’t be afraid to throw emerging filly Martini Mumma into stakes grade if she passes what he sees as a stern test in Saturday’s TAB Highway (1100m) at Rosehill.

Tyler Schiller has a handy book of rides at Rosehill, including the Ciaron Maher-trained Jimmysstar.

In-form jockey Tyler Schiller has a soft spot for country gelding Front Page.

Whether dual Kosciuszko winner Front Page is back to attempt a threepeat later this year depends on results in his next couple of starts but trainer Matt Dale is confident the gelding will be racing at Randwick on October 19.
