“That was the main thing, while I’ve still got a claim, coming to the metropolitan ranks and still being able to use it here.
“It was always on my mind, whether it was here or Melbourne, to match it with the top jockeys in Australia. And if not, well, I’ll take a lot of advice and learning from them, and if I go back up there, I’ll be a lot better.

“I’m on loan for three months. Then it’s if I like it, or how it’s going at the end of those three months, and how Michael thinks we’re progressing. But obviously, I’d love to see a future here.”
McMurray had his first rides since the move south this week at Kembla (Tuesday), Warwick Farm (Wednesday) and Wyong (Thursday) without a win, and he heads to Gosford’s standalone The Coast program on Saturday for two chances.
He partners consistent performer Ritzsun, a $7.50 Sportsbet chance, for Scone trainer Scott Singleton in the third race, a class 3 Highway Handicap (1200m), then Last Command ($12) for his new boss in the next, a benchmark 72 handicap (1600m).
From gate six, Last Command is a last start-winner at Kembla and carries just 53.5kg with McMurray’s claim.
“Obviously, there’s big support from Mr Freedman, and I’ve been very grateful for the horses he’s been putting me on and giving me this opportunity here,” McMurray said.
“I actually had a feel of [Last Command] the other day, and he feels well going into it. They both look like nice horses in those races.”
McMurray has had an early taste of what it’s like riding in the elite Sydney ranks, and he said it was definitely a step up and a thrill.

“All the jockeys know where they are going to be and where you’re going to be in the run,” he said. “Definitely a lot more knowledge here.
“They’ve been pretty good. They were all very respectful and pretty nice to me. They come up and introduced themselves. It’s definitely a big thrill. Even sitting next to Nash [Rawiller] and talking to him, it’s pretty cool.
“J-Mac [James McDonald], you obviously look up to him, and a few of them. I watched them on TV even before I started race riding and I loved watching them ride.”
