Jeff Lloyd has Qld record in his sights

Veteran jockey Jeff Lloyd has the Brisbane and Queensland riding records firmly in his sights little more than halfway through the season.

He is leading the Australian jockeys’ premiership with 113 winners, the Queensland title with 112 winners and the Brisbane metropolitan race with 89.

It seems only a matter of time until he breaks Chris Munce’s Brisbane record of 103 wins and Munce’s state record of 157.

Part of Lloyd’s success is his formidable association with trainer Toby Edmonds with a treble on Saturday taking the pair to 40 Queensland winners this season.

Edmonds has trained 42 metropolitan winners this season to be second to Tony Gollan.
