Jeff Lloyd to weave magic on Mishani
Trainer Chris Anderson has called on premier Brisbane jockey Jeff Lloyd to ride Mishani Bullitt.
Trainer Chris Anderson is hoping some magic from top jockey Jeff Lloyd can help three-year-old Mishani Bullitt overcome a bad barrier at the Sunshine Coast.
Mishani Bullitt resumes in Saturday’s Three-Year-Old Plate (1200m) and is well in with 57kg under the set weights scale but has drawn the outside barrier in the 15-horse field.
Anderson has had recent success with Lloyd and is a huge fan of the leading jockey.
“As I have said I don’t know way he is talking about retiring. I reckon it would be great to bottle him,” Anderson said.
Mishani Bullitt is headed to the winter carnival three-year-old races and Saturday’s race will be a major stepping stone.
“He has won a trial in good fashion and this is a nice race to start off in,” Anderson said.
Lloyd was seen at his best riding four winners for the third time at a metropolitan meeting this season at Ipswich on Wednesday.
He now has 82 metropolitan winners to be well on his way to passing 100 for the second season in a row.
