Although he is down the pecking order at team Peter Moody, former Ashburton jockey Daniel Stackhouse doesn't want to be with any other stable.
"There are five of us riding here. We all get on well and it feels like we're part of a team," he said.
Stackhouse is competing for rides with Luke Nolen, Linda Meech, Jason Benbow and Jake Duffy for Moody.
The Caulfield horseman makes the decision as to who rides what and Luke Nolen is the usual first preference, with the other jockeys sharing the crumbs.
"It's great being there. Pete is loyal and if you work hard you get your opportunities," he told the Herald Sun.
