Now that he's broken his maiden, stakes placegetter Reckless Russell will be aimed at bigger and better races.

The three-year-old won over 1900 metres at Canterbury on Wednesday at his 13th start, prompting trainer Noel Mayfield-Smith to talk up his future.

"He is a very good horse as he showed when he was placed in the Fernhill Handicap and I have earmarked Brisbane for him," Mayfield-Smith said.

"We'll look at races like the Guineas and the Grand Prix and maybe even the Queensland Derby.

"But we'll test him out at the back end of the Sydney carnival first."

Ridden by apprentice Andrew Adkins, Reckless Russell ($5.50) had 2-1/4 lengths to spare over the $2.90 favourite In Mum's Memory.

Adkins, who claims three kilograms, got Reckless Russell over from his wide barrier to be in the right position to pounce on the leaders.

From the mid-North Coast region of NSW, Adkins is with trainer Ron Quinton who says he hopes the youngster's three-month loan will be extended.

"It was a ride any jockey would be proud of," Quinton said.

"I'm pretty sure Andrew will be staying on. He's a good kid and he's going the right way."

Premier apprentice Winona Costin brought up a winning double on Yulong Ambition and Colour Of Money and will try to build on that over the weekend before she starts a suspension.

Costin was outed at Gosford on Tuesday and will start her ban on January 3 and be back on January 10.

Tommy Berry returned to the winners' list at Canterbury aboard Bullrush, his first winner since he returned from an overseas stint in Japan and Hong Kong 10 days ago.

"It's been a frustrating week-and-a-half and it's good to get the monkey off my back," he said.
