Comeback jockey Shane Dye says he is going to have to walk before he can run.
And that process starts at his home town of Matamata today.
Dye was the glamour jockey of Australasia in the 1990s but has not ridden on raceday for 2 years, his last career stop having been Mauritius in the Indian Ocean.
He has come home to New Zealand to resume his career and reignite his love of riding.
What happens after that, time will tell.
