Moruya's Newhaven Park South East Country Championships on Sunday has attracted a deep set of acceptors with Goulburn trainers securing five main field chances and another four waiting in the wings over the next few days as emergencies.

Trainer Jean Dubois is banking on Tyler Schiller continuing the form that saw him outride his apprentice claim over Christmas when the jockey reunites with Arnaqueur at Randwick on Saturday.

Million-dollar yearling justifies faith of big names with impressive maiden win

As a colt, Arnaqueur promised the world but, to be fair, delivered an atlas so trainer Jean Dubois hopes the ultimate gear change will pay dividends in Sunday’s $150,000 Newhaven Park South East Country Championships (1400m) at Nowra.

He wasn’t even meant to be riding at Newcastle, but Dylan Gibbons has stolen the show with a stakes win.
