Doncaster Mile-winning jockey Tyler Schiller has a strong book of seven rides awaiting at Wednesday’s Newcastle meeting, headed by last-start winner Inquisitive Legend in the final event of the day.
The Lee and Cherie Curtis-prepared Inquisitive Legend led throughout to score with ease with Jay Ford in the saddle when last produced at Newcastle, and Schiller takes over the ride when it contests The Prince Of Merewether Midway Class 1 Handicap (1250m).

Schiller will begin the day when he is legged aboard the John O’Shea trained Ana Carolina in the Living Turf Maiden Plate (1890m).
Ana Carolina is a daughter of Dundeel and looks ready to peak having had three runs back from a spell.
Schiller will also link with O’Shea when he partners Queen Of A Hand in the New Era Technology 2YO Maiden Plate (900m). Queen Of A Hand has had two barrier trials in preparation for her debut.
The Richard and Will Freedman training partnership will utilise Schiller’s services when Zoubaby debuts in the Hungerford Hill Wines Maiden Handicap (900m).
Zoubaby is having her first race start, but has had four trials, two late last year and another two recently, with a Gosford win and a Randwick third in the latest two.
The Freedmans elected to scratch Zoubaby from the two-year-old race at Newcastle, and instead take on the older horses from a better barrier, having drawn the inside gate in the race she will run in.
Schiller has been booked to ride two Chris Waller trained gallopers in the shape of Determination in the NZB Karaka 20 June Sale Maiden Handicap (1400m), and Buffett in the Sharp Office Maiden Plate (1250m).
