She is a former accomplished who rode more than 200 winners, mainly in north .

“I wasn't able to ride track work for a while because I was looking after our son Harry. He is three now and I have been able to get a reliable baby sitter,” Herne said.

“Brad was looking for a change and I was keen to get back into things so the baby sitter meant I could begin riding work again.”

“In January I took over the main training and Brad helps me before he goes to his new job.

Herne has been having a good run as a trainer with four winners in the past three weeks.

Leading the way has been veteran Allknight Saint who won at the before taking the Beaudesert Cup two weeks ago.

Herne said Allknight Saint had been a great investment for the family.

Herne said Allknight Saint had been hit with big weights up to 62.5kg and dropped to 54kg on Saturday.

“He likes the sting out of the track and should get that Saturday,” she said.

Herne is planning to head north with six horses for the and Townsville carnivals later this month.
