Later in the day he backed up with a win on the John Moore-trained Rewarding Flyer.

The 22-year-old was offered a club contract earlier this year after riding two Group One winners during the Sydney autumn carnival.

He was Sydney’s champion apprentice twice in 2012/13 and again the following season.
