RICHARD Cully, no longer testing himself as a jumps jockey, landed his first blacktype winner as a trainer when Pintoff won the Listed Regal Roller Stakes over 1,200 metres at Caulfield last Saturday with Declan Bates up.

“I am absolutely delighted for Richard (Cully) and his team,” said Bates. “It is actually my first winner for them, so it wasn’t a bad way to get the first one up.”
