Jane Steer and Mitchell Miller joined forces in race four on the card, with Mister Piccolo winning first up for the new stable. After causing havoc at home leading up to Saturday's race, his debut was in doubt, but the four-year-old was on his best behaviour on Saturday night.
"I wasn't sure that he was even going to get around because he galloped at trials the week before and he was a little bugger at track work,
"But I thought if he held it together, he was a good chance." Steer said
With Ya Betterfollowme racing in good form for the stable, Colin Brown approached Steer with the offer of training Mister Piccolo, with Steer jumping at the opportunity.
"Colin (Brown) spoke to Liam one morning at trials and asked was I looking for aother horse, so I gave him a call and it was him,
"Colin said he was stoked with how good Ya Bettorfollowme had been going, that he would offer us Piccolo to have a go at too. Mr Brown is the best."
