Damian Oliver is back in business, doing what he does best, riding winners, after an enforced layoff of 10 months.

First ride back at Geelong on Friday he won the opening race on Lion Of Belfort, for Mick Price, while at Moonee Valley, he rode the perfect race winning on Divine Calling, for Gai Waterhouse.

It was a big occasion for the popular hoop who had the full support of his family, and he didn’t let them down, even his mother made the trip over from Perth to be with her son.

Oliver hasn’t lost his touch, far from it, he will be among the main players during the Spring.
