Berry’s rides earned $18.9 million nationwide, including $14.5 million in NSW.
“It’s probably been the least amount of wins I’ve had in a season for a long time, but I guess the injuries haven’t helped with that,” he said.
“But prizemoney wise I’m still second or third on the table, so I’ve obviously won the right races, which is good. But the amount of winners, it’s probably 30 or 40 winners down on what I’m used to.
“It has been a bit of a rollercoaster season, but I’m excited about the season ahead. I’ve got some nice rides going forward, I had a nice break over the winter, so everything is going along good.
“There’s Gringotts, and I’ve got some nice three-year-olds as well. Apocalyptic and Pallaton are going to trial next week. Raging Force has been a bit of a revelation over the winter, and riding for stables like [Chris] Waller, [Peter] Snowden, [Michael] Freedman, [John] O’Shea and Maher, you are bound to pick up some more nice ones.
“I ride for the right stables … and James [McDonald] can’t ride all the good ones.”
He is also keen to stick with O’Ole and the Kelly Schweida-trained Sunrays in the spring.

“Bjorn Baker mentioned O’Ole to me the other day, and said she’s come back a lot stronger,” he said.
“She’s an exciting filly. She had a lot of tough racing, but she’s had a good break as well, whereas a lot of the other two-year-olds had a longer prep, so I’m looking forward to seeing her back.”
On Saturday, Berry rides Barbary (race one), Concordia Wind (five), Captain Maverick (seven), Geriatrix (nine) and Ravenclaw (10) for Waller, who had 142 winners to claim the Sydney trainers premiership for a 15th consecutive time.
Rosehill was rated a heavy 8 on Thursday with rain forecast to continue through to the weekend, and Berry was looking to wet-track performers such as Barbray ($7.50 Sportsbet) and Concordia Wind ($15) to lead the way.
Barbray won at Goulburn and was less than half a length away in fourth at Canterbury in his only starts on heavy going. Concordia Wind won her debut at Gosford with Berry aboard in her only run on heavy ground.
“I think most of my rides on Saturday, even the ones who won’t be hard in the market, enjoy wet ground,” he said.

“Barbray won on a heavy at Goulburn. I know it was only Goulburn, but it bolted in that day, and he’s improved since that.
“Concordia Wind likes a bit of sting out of the ground and she’s trialled up well, so she should be a good chance.”
Geriatrix ($18) and the Annabel and Rob Archibald-trained Fiddlers Green ($8) have won two from seven on soft going, while Captain Maverick ($10) was a half-length from Nana’s Wish two starts back on a heavy surface.
