Talented apprentice jockey Madi Derrick has been booked to ride in the WA leg of the upcoming National Apprentice Race Series (NARS).

In a race of hard luck stories, the Pinjarra Classic (1300m) was a bad watch for co-trainers Grant and Alana Williams and backers of Red Fifty Three two weeks back.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained. The experience was priceless.

Apprentice Madi Derrick celebrated her first Rising Star Series victory after winning Heat 4 at Taree on Sunday (19th December).

Stephen Schofield’s in-form mare Mosht Up is part of a three-pronged attack on his home track this Thursday.
