The Wyong Trainers Premiership comes down to the wire this Thursday with Kim Waugh going head-to-head with Peter and Paul Snowden.
Waugh is yet to claim the title for the most winners trained on the track but has dominated the local Trainers Premiership.
As the 2023/24 season end approaches Waugh is set to claim her seventh successive Wyong Premiership having bagged 39 wins to date, nine ahead of her nearest rival Kristen Buchanan.
Waugh saddles up four runners at the final Wyong meeting of the season and is hopeful at least one can get the job done.
Her chances lie with Riley Park in the 1350m Provincial Class 1, Sidenay & Buba in the 1350m CONDITIONAL BM68 over 1350m and Community in the 1600m BM64.
All four of Waugh’s runners are second up, with Buba have previously won second up, while Sidenay and Community have been placed.
Her rivals, Snowden racing have three runners, two-year-old’s Anabba’s Spirit, Zousain Bolt and last start Randwick placegetter Waterville.
The Wyong Jockey’s Premiership could also come down to the wire, Tyler Schiller holding a two-point lead on 10, over Keagan Latham and Ashley Morgan on eight.
Schiller has five rides on Thursday, while Latham has three. Morgan is currently suspended and out of the Premiership race.
The Apprentices Premiership has already been decided with Zac Lloyd booting home 11 winners at Wyong over the 12-month period, while Dylan Gibbons has 10 and Zac Wadick eight.
Neither Lloyd or Gibbons are riding at the meeting, and with Wadick having only one ride, the title is firmly in Lloyd’s hands.
