Linda Meech doesn’t mind travelling, Randwick yesterday, riding a winner for David Vandyke, and off to Swan Hill today, and possibly Mornington tomorrow.

A quietly spoken young lady she is a true professional, trainers speak of her highly, she places horses well in a field and gives them every chance in a race.

You never hear Peter Moody complaining about her, she has a great strike rate.

Pressing fails again

Pressing was no match for his opposition at Eagle Farm in the Tatts Group J J Atkins Stakes, finishing out of a place.

Whether he had gone off the boil, or not comfortable racing in the reverse direction, is not known as no excuses have been offered for his two defeats in Brisbane.

He is not the same horse that won twice at Caulfield before going north, he will no doubt go for a spell.
