Blake Shinn has been booked as the replacement rider for Rosehill Guineas winner Volkstok’n’barrell who is set to make his mark in the Memsie Stakes at Caulfield.
Craig Williams rode the Donna Logan-trained gelding to his Group One autumn win in Sydney but his commitment to a jockeys’ series in Japan on August 29 left the Memsie mount up for grabs.
Logan and her fellow owners had also considered running Volkstok’n’barrell in the Makfi Challenge in New Zealand on the same day but said Melbourne was the preference.
“He is 99.9 per cent running in the Memsie with Blake to ride,” Logan said.
