Following last Saturday’s Christmas Cup Day, the last meeting at Rosehill Gardens will be the Barrier Trials on Tuesday 22nd December then the thrills of thoroughbred racing begin again for another year in January 2010.

The first race meeting for the 2010 at Rosehill Racecourse is on Saturday 2nd January followed by another Saturday Raceday on the 16th.

The Sydney racecourse will also host two days of Barrier Trials on Tuesday the 5th of January and Friday the 22nd.

The most anticipated meeting for January 2010 at Rosehill Gardens, however, will be held on Saturday the 23rd when the course is home to the Racing Rewards Inglis Classic Race Day.

His quartet of winners included brother and sister Pinwheel and Counterpane who claimed successive victories in the TAB Number 1 Club Handicap (1200m) and the www.theraces.com.au Handicap (1200m).

The result was Snowden’s second highest number of winners at a single race meeting, having previously trained five champions at the same raceday, but the brother and sister feat was a first.

Pinwheel, a four-year-old gelding, and Counterpane, a three-year-old filly, are by former racing great Lonhro out of Quilt.

Snowden also saw victory in the Gold Coast International Hotel Handicap (1200m) with Killian and in the Jim Beam Handicap (1200m) with his gifted mare Clothing.

The impressive Rosehill assault has rapidly improved Snowden’s stocks for the Sydney Trainers Premiership this season as his tally of wins now stands at 28, just five behind the leader Chris Waller. Snowden is looking to atone for his second place to Gai Waterhouse in last season’s premiership.
