The possibility was floated by the trainer’s son and foreman Nathan Perry after Our Corey, ridden by apprentice Alex Stokes, led all the way to win yesterday’s Inglis Benchmark 70 (1100m) at Scone.

“He has been a good bread and butter horse for us but where do we go with him now,” Perry said.

“If he goes to Sydney he has to meet Sydney class horses on level weights because of the benchmark system and he is not up to Sydney standard,” Perry said.

“Yet if we stay in the country he gets more weight.

“We might have to think about following Sue Grills to Brisbane.

“I have been suggesting it to Dad for some time and at first he wasn’t interested but now I think he is warming to the idea.”

Grills and her apprentice Tim Bell have made two successful trips to Brisbane in recent weeks, claiming doubles with Ollie Vollie and Dealers on two occasions.

Local knowledge proved invaluable yesterday, with Scone trainers dominating the program on their home track.

Rod Northam led in a winning double while Peter Bloomfield and Michael Parkinson had one winner each.

Northam won the Magic Albert-Dennis Wilton Benchmark 65 (1300m) with Miss Alert and the Tooheys New Maiden (1100m) with Vain Saint. Both horses were ridden by Robert Thompson.

Bloomfield and Bell combined to win the Pages Event Equipment Maiden (1100m) with Salame Veloce and Parkinson the Emirates Park Benchmark 65 (1600m) with Silent Creek.

The win by Silent Creek gave Allan Robinson the second leg of a winning double.

It was a lucky last-minute ride for him after Greg Ryan, who was supposed to ride the horse, fell ill and followed Robinson’s winning ride one race earlier on the Newcastle- trained Triple French.

Miss Alert was having her first start for Northam after being switched from Warwick Farm trainer Gary Portelli.

“She has a win at Canterbury to her credit but connections think she is better off racing in the country,” Northam said.

The win by Vain Saint lowered the boom on the Paul Messara-trained Auspicious but he did not appear to relish the heavy track to finish fourth.

He will now go for a spell.

Later Thompson made it a winning treble when he pushed the Alan Scorse-trained Major Nelson through a gap to win the Darley Benchmark 55 (1100m).
