The forced exit of a number of Victorian jockeys to Queensland may have opened the door for Harry Coffey with the Lindsay Park stable. Coffey has slipped under the radar in recent years however he is tracking towards a careerhigh this season, already approaching 70 winners and in sight of the 80 he rode during the 2015-16 season.
Recently he has had support from Lindsay Park and with the likes of John Allen, Ben Allen, Craig Williams, Jye McNeil and Jamie Kah riding in Queensland and Mark Zahra not riding, Coffey made a rare visit to a Melbourne metropolitan meeting and it paid off with success on Biometric (Bated Breath) in the Enable Professional Services Handicap (1400m) at Caulfield, a day after posting a win aboard Tycoon Beau (Written Tycoon) for the stable at Ballarat.
Going forward hopefully we can put some more wins together," Coffey said. "They've (Lindsay Park) got a lot of horses and it's good to be involved with stables who have high quality horses and lots of them.
good to get a couple of wins and at this time of year, it gives fellas like myself a bit more of an opportunity in town and you have to grab it by the horns and make the most of it. That's what we did and thanks to Biometric, he put on a great display.
