It is perhaps appropriate that Michael Walker will break two records this season.
On 138 victories with 16 weeks of the season remaining, the Taranaki whiz is on track to eclipse Lance O'Sullivan's record of 162 wins.
And along the way Walker is even more certain to become the first New Zealand jockey to ride in 1000 races in a season.
Walker finished last weekend on 922 rides, only 71 mounts behind the current record for a racing season of 993, established by David Peake in 1984-85.
Last season Walker created the next highest total after Peake with 965.
