Former jockey Ron Steiner now makes concrete edges for garden beds for a living, but the part-time trainer hasn't been able to kick his racing habit.

Miss Farloo, who is owned by a group of his friends in the sheep industry, could be the horse to give the Wagga Wagga-based Steiner his first Sydney winner as a trainer in the last Highway Handicap of the season at Rosehill on Saturday.

After 26 years as a jockey riding predominantly in the Riverina and ACT, Steiner now runs his own small business.

He retains a training licence and has two horses in his stable to maintain an interest in racing.

"When it's bred into you - I'm third or fourth generation - it sticks in you and you can't get out of it," Steiner said.

Robert Frew, managing director of major Victorian sheep and lamb company Frew Group, and Riverina sheep buyers Alan and Shane Cheshire race Miss Farloo with Steiner.

"Alan and I grew up only one street apart," Steiner said.

"He gives me a horse to poke around with."

Steiner's first Sydney runner was Why Me Lord in a Highway Handicap at Randwick on July 9.

Why Me Lord finished last of 10 runners, running well below Steiner's expectation.

He is confident Miss Farloo will perform better than her stablemate after a last-start placing in a 1400m benchmark race at Corowa on July 17.

"I was pretty happy with the way she got home and finished the race off," Steiner said.

The mare was unlucky that day, striking interference at the home turn.

"She's not getting beaten by much," Steiner said.

"If she can settle back in the field and get home it might be good for us."

Miss Farloo will be extended to 1500m for the first time in what shapes as her final run before a spell.

"The way she's been finishing her races off I don't think the extra 100 metres will be any problem whatsoever," Steiner said.

While Steiner plans to nominate Miss Farloo for next Monday's $30,000 Forbes Cup, running in the Highway remains his preferred option.
