The big boys have left town, now it’s Kyle Wilson-Taylor’s time to shine.

With the Queensland winter carnival well and truly over and the star southern jockeys either back home or on holidays, Wilson-Taylor collected a double with a couple of textbook rides on the Chris Waller-trained $11 chances Yet He Moves and Caboche.

“The carnival is gone and the city jocks have gone home so that gives us a crack now,” Wilson-Taylor said.

“Chris (Waller) had a chat to me during the carnival and said once it goes, I’ll be straight back in there.

“It’s great to get these opportunities and even better to make the most of them.

“It helps when you draw good gates and have really well-prepared horses.

“I galloped him (Caboche) on Tuesday and he’s one of my favourite horses.”

Five-year-old gelding Yet He Moves flew down the outside in the straight to beat home Just Flying ($6) and $81 outsider Connecticut.

Asked about the son of Adelaide going into the race without a trial after last running in early May over 1835m at Eagle Farm, Wilson-Taylor said: “You never discount Mr Waller, he’s the best trainer in the country for a reason.

“This horse is forward and just needs that sort of variety. He loves to switch off early and present at the right time and it all worked out for me today.

“I probably got there a bit soon and he switched off late but it’s good signs going forward.

“Chris has been a really good supporter of mine in recent times and I’ve been doing a bit of work there and getting the results.”

Caboche defeated $2.50 favourite Chica Mojito for a Waller quinella, with the Jack Bruce-trained This’llbetheone ($9.50) in third.

There was a sad postscript to Caboche’s victory, with the Chris and Corey-Munce-trained gelding Brookhaven being humanely euthanised on the track after breaking down entering the straight.
