There would rarely be a meeting at Moree where the name Peter Sinclair doesn't figure among the winning trainers.

More often than not it does multiple times.
That looks every chance of continuing on Saturday with the Moree trainer sending a big team of runners (11) around in what what will be the Moree Race Club's first meeting since late last year. They were scheduled to race on March 12 but the meeting was transferred to Gunnedah after the track was deemed too wet.
For Sinclair it will make a nice change to be racing at home after clocking up plenty of kilometres since that December meeting. In the last two months alone he has raced at Gunnedah, Scone, Dubbo, Grafton, Tamworth, Coonabarabran and Armidale.
He said it should be a "great day's racing" too.
Crystal Billy will be the first up in the Garah P&C Class 1 & Maiden Plate.
"He's run a couple of nice races. His run at Gunnedah was good. Disappointed a little bit at Armidale the other day but Armidale can be a tricky track," Sinclair said.
"He should be competitive tomorrow, he's fit and well and he'll run a nice race."
Ah Well and Disco Mo will then jump in the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service Maiden Handicap.
"Ah Well is only having her second start. She needs to mature a bit more," he said.

Disco Mo will be having his first start for Sinclair. Previously with Anthony Cummings, he said on his form he should race well.
Next up will be Moss 'N' Diamonds and More Than Good, but Sinclair expects Stirling Osland's Pair Of Heels to be too good to beat.
Likewise Osland's Radiant Choice for Ayeteem in the Moree Cup 6 September Benchmark 58 Handicap, although the gelding has been in good form, he said.
Danigree and Mymill will contest the Derby Day Long Lunch Benchmark 58 Handicap.
Sinclair was a bit disappointed with Mymill's last run at Armidale but has changed a couple of things around and on the indications of how she has been working expects her to run well.
Danigree was a winner last start at the track but is only second start back and usually takes "two or three starts to get going".
He will round out the meeting with three runners in the final race on the program - the Can Assist Moree Benchmark 50 Handicap.
Samphire Hoe is a "nice filly" but will have to carry "a big weight (61kg)". The 950m might also be a bit short for her but still expects her to "run a really good race".
"Let Him Fly, he needs to improve on what he's been doing, he hasn't been doing enough," Sinclair said.
"And Head On's a bit the same."
"His work at home has been really good but he hasn't been taking it to the races. He needs to step up."
The first race jumps at 12.47pm.
