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

Classy country-trained sprinter Front Page has run his rivals ragged to land his second successive Kosciuszko.

Outstanding galloper Front Page proved to be levels above his opponents in last year’s Iron Jack Wagga Town Plate and despite a huge jump in the weights and a wide draw he has been installed as favourite for Thursday’s feature race.

A couple of guys who drive a garbage truck throw together a motley bunch of family and friends to try their luck at being part of the richest country race in the world with just $500 worth of tickets.

Tyler Schiller has celebrated his birthday by landing the biggest win of his career aboard Front Page in The Kosciuszko.
