“Look, I’m a pretty stubborn bastard,” the 41-year-old said on Wednesday night while wandering back through the crowd along Wong Nai Chung Road after a breakthrough four-timer, his first four-win haul in Hong Kong.“But if I had gone home, I would be regretting it now, I came here to give it my best shot and at least now I’m in a position to do that with the support I have gained. I have seven winners from five meetings now, it has taken me two months to ride that many winners in my first two seasons.”Given the once-derogatory nickname, it’s ironic that it is Chinese trainers that have been behind Rawiller’s turnaround – at first countryman John Moore formed the foundation of his support, but a falling out (a common, and often temporary, occurrence between the trainer and many top jockeys over the years) meant that a Group Three victory on Secret Sham late in the 2014-15 season was his last for the handler.As much as having a minimum riding weight of 122 pounds is a severe disadvantage for any jockey, and especially so in a jurisdiction where lightweight Joao Moreira dominates, when Rawiller shifted from his Sydney comfort zone, weight wasn’t his biggest challenge – it was communication.Full-time jockeys in Hong Kong don’t have agents or managers – so it was left to Rawiller to do the meet and greets, head into the Sha Tin trainers’ stand to chase rides each morning, or get on the phone to request them.Anyone that has spent anytime talking to the lanky, laconic Australian, knows he has a “pause for effect” Marlon Brando would be proud of, and that he thinks – sometimes rather deeply, and for quite a while – about what he is going to say next.Combine that with a relatively broad “Aussie” accent forged growing up around racetracks in rural Victoria, and it’s no surprise that some of the already sceptical local trainers were struggling to jell with the newcomer.“I talked to him for about five minutes one day,” recalled Danny Shum Chap-shing – now Rawiller’s biggest supporter and provider of two of his four wins on Wednesday.
“Some kids play soccer before or after school, I like watching horses work and learning about racing.”“My style is my style.

He moved to Sydney in … Sydney’s leading jockey might have the opportunity to win his first Group 1 race in nearly two years at Royal Randwick on Saturday, which is the premise of this story, but he was keener to talk about another subject much closer to his heart.“My son, Campbell, is going to have his first race ride (Saturday),’’ Rawiller revealed.Rawiller admitted he initially tried to talk his son out of following in his footsteps.“But once Campbell had made up his mind and was determined to become an apprentice jockey, I’ve supported him every step of the way,’’ Rawiller said.Campbell Rawiller’s riding debut also presented a dilemma for his mother, Sarah.Does she go to Randwick and watch her husband ride Dreamforce in the Group 1 $500,000 Colgate Optic White George Main Stakes (1600m) or travel to Jerilderie where her son is riding in races worth just $10,000?Sarah Rawiller decided she needs to be at Jerilderie even though she had to study a map to find the small NSW country town, which is just 45km north of the Victorian border.“When we were in Hong Kong, Campbell said he wanted to be a jockey and I said ‘OK, but you need to be a horseman first’.“We then went out and bought him a pony so he could learn how to ride.
