Australia’s winningest jockey Robert Thompson has been working hard to clinch his first Hawkesbury win in six years at Saturday’s rich stand-alone meeting.

It’s business as usual today for Robert Thompson, a day after he rode into the history books as the first Australian jockey to win 4000 races.

Last start winner Mic Mac heads a strong list of nominations for Saturday’s $100,000 Winter Stakes at Rosehill.

Akin to his trainer Todd Howlett, Deceitful Don, who steps out at Muswellbrook tomorrow, is a laid back sort of character.

There are 37 horses remaining in the $1 million Stradbroke Handicap after the closure of first acceptances, easing the pressure on some borderline cases to make the final field.
