Riverina reinsman Blake Jones is amongst the leading drivers in New South Wales this year.
Since Jones began driving in the 2007/08 season, he has been a leader of his craft and in 2018 marked his name in the history books as one of the rare drivers to win six races at one meeting.
It was only a fortnight ago that Victorian driver Mark Pitt won a record nine races at Launceston and surpassed this record.
Two days after Pitt achieved this, Jones drove a treble at Coolamon on April 18 that saw his reach a milestone of 900 wins in his career.
The 32-year-old driver will head to Wagga today with 901 wins to his credit thanks to those three winners.
Jones will drive The Rogue I Am in race one, Tygerphinn in race two and Miss Chantilly in race five.
The iForm best bets for today:
Newcastle best bet
Race 4: Give Me A Minute (4)
Appears the one to beat after chasing gamely giving them too much start last week.
Newcastle next best
Race 3: Glenn Ford (3)
Wasn’t disgraced in slick fractions at Menangle and should be prominent.
Around the tracks
Wagga best bet

Dug deep to win last time but gets a better draw here and can win again.
