You won’t hear many complaints from trainers about female jockeys, one in particular, Barry Fox, trainer of Bonne Nuit, was high in his praise of Katelyn Mallyon with another superb ride.

She won on the mare at Moonee Valley last week and rode much the same sort of race again at Flemington, allowing the mare to settle down before applying any pressure.

The key to the mare could be keeping her fresh; she didn’t visit the track between both races, instead just pottered about the stable.

Being a clean winded she doesn’t require a lot work; she saves all her energy for race day.

“Katelyn rides the mare well,” said Barry “the girls seem to be more patient than the boys, they ride their mounts much quieter,” he added.
