Dynamic Syndications leading Sydney jockey Nash Rawiller will not be in action at Rosehill this Saturday due to a virus.
Nash has ridden many winners for Dynamic in recent times notably when he partnered Atomic Force to win the Gr1 Railway Stakes in New Zealand during January of this year.

He currently sits second in the Sydney jockey’s premiership, 11.5 wins behind Hugh Bowman who has also ridden many winners for Dynamic in the past.
However Nash has the extremely impressive strike rate this season of 26.70% runner to winners which gives him the best strike rate of any city jockey in Australia, 4% above Adelaide’s Matt Neilson.
Rawiller’s misfortune give another dynamic jockey, Tommy Berry a leg up in some respects , as he gets the chance to showcase his talents aboard some of Nash’s normal mounts including Reuben Percival, who will take it’s place in the day’s feature – the $100,000 Stayers Cup.

After not riding on Wednesday, Nash made the decision to step down from his book of rides on Saturday which should give him time to return to full fitness come next week.
Deputy chief steward Greg Rudolph explained this point simply after Wednesday’s Canterbury meeting.
"He's not taking rides on Saturday to fully recover," Rudolph said.
Despite unlike to reclaim his Sydney jockey premiership after this illness, Rawiller’s has had an amazing season managing to get 63% of his Sydney city mounts into the placings this year with less than 6 weeks to go this season.
