Ned Taylor and Aaron Bain will have their first official runners in partnership at next Wednesday’s opening meeting of the 2023-24 racing season on their home track at Gawler.

Strathalbyn horseman Dion Koch is going in with an open mind at Morphettville on Saturday with exciting sprinter Philonize.

She failed to make her $32,000 reserve at the 2020 Adelaide Magic Millions Yearling Sale, but Philonize continued to repay connections faith with her third win in succession in the $102,250 Rebel Raider Series Final at Morphettville on the Saturday.
