Every time Murray Baker's phone rings at the moment he fully expects it to be an Australian jockey.
The Cambridge trainer knows he will be bombarded with calls from jockeys for the Caulfield Cup ride on New Zealand mare Bonneval after her dominant A$250,000 Dato Tan Chin Nam Stakes victory at Moonee Valley on Saturday.
Unfortunately for Baker and Bonneval's owners, Saturday's winning rider, the underrated Damian Lane, is unavailable for the Caulfield Cup mount, being required for one of the runners for champion trainer Darren Weir.
"I won't have trouble finding a decent rider," said Baker in the understatement of the weekend.
Baker is pleased with the condition of Bonneval and Lizzie L'Amour after their vastly different returns to the track.
