Perth champion jockey can star at The Pinnacles Day even on outsider Mai Aloha
Perth's 14-time champion jockey William Pike will as usual be a well-sought commodity as The Pinnacles kicks off at Ascot on Nov 16.
But for that Day 1 of Western Australia's premier racing carnival, Pike is surprisingly sitting on outsiders in the two main 3YO events.
The "Wizard of the West" rides Mai Aloha in the A$500,000 (S$453,000) Listed Placid Ark Stakes (1,200m) and Storyville in the A$300,000 Group 3 WA Champion Fillies Stakes (1,600m), both for Grant and Alana Williams.
He actually combines with the same team in the other two "black type" races - both A$200,000 Group 3 events - on that day, Western Empire in the Colonel Reeves Stakes (1,100m) and Yonga Lass in the R.J. Peters Stakes (1,500m).
