"To be honest we actually haven't had that many runners in it … you have to have a pretty decent sort of sprinter to get in the Weetwood.
"It'd be really special to do it now. Dad has been riding since he was 15 and he's in his 50s now and he retired for a couple of years recently.
"Now he's back and obviously getting towards the end of his career now.
"To be able to go out there, get that win with him before he retires altogether would be extra special.
"Being a Toowoomba trainer, a Toowoomba boy, it is up there. It's the race you always want to win, the one you want to knock over."
