Crockett and six-year-old gelding Mr Hussill was confirmed on Friday, September 17 as a starter in the country feature at Randwick on October 16.

It came two days after Jones was confirmed by Racing NSW for The Kosciuszko (1200 metres) courtesy of three-year-old gelding Nadaraja.

Nadaraja and fellow contender Front Page were both selected by Kosciuszko ticket holders from Wagga Wagga while a slot winner from Belmont has yet to reveal a representative.

Jones started racing Nadaraja, by Redoute's Choice from National Anthem, three months ago with trials in the Upper Hunter before a second on debut at Muswellbrook on July 31. Nadaraja has since recorded back-to-back wins, both over 1100m at Scone.

Mr Hussill was second in the TAB Highway Handicap (1200m) earlier in September, just 0.57 lengths off eventual winner Jerry.

In more good news for Scone trainers, Mark Schmetzer scored a winner at Randwick on Saturday, September 18 with five-year-old gelding Leo steered home by Hugh Bowman in the TAB Highway Handicap (1000m).

Six months have passed since horse trainer Todd Howlett was overturned transporting five horses from his farm on the New England Highway in Belford.

The horse truck was heading towards Singleton in March when it was hit from behind by another truck and flipped.

A horse died at the scene of the crash and the remaining four horses were monitored at their stables.

Earlier this month, two of the stallions successfully returned to the racetrack.

Toto and Yuralla Boy took to the Wyong racecourse last Tuesday for their first trials after the collision.

In the first race of the day, Yuralla Boy placed fourth overall with jockey Ms Rachel King on the reins.

Toto also had a daring run in the eighth race of the day, a 845 metre open trial placing sixth with jockey Jay Ford.
