Lightweight Victorian jockey Liam Riordan has picked up the ride on the Phillip Stokes-trained Regal Azmon in Wednesday week’s $120,000 Balaklava Cup (1600m).
The Victorian jockey has been in red-hot form over the border riding five winners from his past eight rides and will link with the Stokes stable chasing a second success in the time honoured provincial feature after Pride Of Archway claimed the 2006 edition.
Nominations for the early spring feature close with Racing SA at noon on Thursday.
