The wheel will turn full circle for much-travelled former Sydney champion apprentice jockey Ron Stewart when he makes a hit-and-run Group 1 raid in Sydney for master trainer Chris Waller on Saturday.
The Sydney jockeys’ room was where Brisbane hoop Stewart cut his teeth, winning the apprentices title in 2002-03, in a journey which has since seen him ride internationally in Singapore, Mauritius and Macau.
Now firmly established as part of the Queensland riding ranks, the 37-year-old lightweight rider has been called up by Waller to ride former import Selino in the Sydney Cup (3200m) at Randwick on Saturday.

Subscriber only A two-time Melbourne Cup winning jockey has taken WorkCover Queensland to court after it blocked spinal surgery following a horrific fall at Eagle Farm. Star jockey Corey Brown was lucky not to lose the use of his legs when he fell from horse Lord Arthur during the Queensland Derby in June 2019. Brown, who won the race that stops a nation in 2009 and again in 2017, fractured a vertebrae and suffered broken ribs, sternum, and a punctured lung.
