Brad Rawiller completed a winning treble, his first on a city track, when he rode Lord Of Brazil to win the Tony Beddison Cup, at Moonee Valley on Saturday.

Few do it as tough as Rawiller, he puts in the hard yards and deserves the results, pushing himself to the extremes to ride at a competitive weight.

It is not uncommon to see him arrive at the races, stepping out of the car with the heater on all the way, rugged like an Eskimo, all for the sake of losing a few ounces.

He seldom takes passengers to the races with him, if they go once it is generally the last time, they rarely put their hand up a second time.

For all that hardship he put himself through, he is one of the fittest jockeys you are likely to see, his ride to win on Lord Of Brazil was testimony to his strength and fitness.

There was no time to celebrate a good day at the office; it was off to the races the next day for the last of the Cup series at Ballarat, another hard slog saw him take out the major prize on King Diamond, by a nose.
