Pride prepared star sprinter Eduardo for Saturday's the TAB Everest, the eight-year-old finishing third nearly a length back from eventual winner Nature Strip in the $15 million jewel in racing NSW's crown.
And while the same sort of prizemoney won't be on the offering at Towac Park - Eduardo took home $1.4m for finishing third, while winning connections at Orange will pocket around $12,000 - Pride's equally keen to see his stable perform in the bush.
Pride has three-year-old filly Shaza and Coal Crusher running in maiden sprints over 1000 metres in back-to-back races before Sir Savaluca will also look to break his maiden in race six, the 1400-metre Australian National Field Days Maiden Handicap.

Coal Crusher has been the unluckiest of the Pride trio headed to Orange, having finished second in each of the four races the four-year-old has run. The chestnut gelding has run at Newcastle, Kembla Grange and Hawkesbury and will make the trip west for his first run in the Central Districts Racing Association as one of the favourites in race three.
Coal Crusher will do battle with Dubbo hope Zariz Raider in the Epiroc CG&E Maiden Plate (1000m).
Trained by Clint Lundholm, Zariz Raider will be first-up from a lengthy 61-week spell on Tuesday.
The five-year-old gelding, with one placing from three starts, last raced in August of last year but did finish third to subsequent Narromine winner Talbragar in a trial on October 1.
Lundholm will also have Bandahara and Harwok'N'Zoff racing at Orange while Michael Lunn and Garry Lunn are the other Dubbo trainers heading to Towac Park.
Michael will race Club Town and Witness Collector while Fromdusktilldawn and Ollivander will be in for Garry.
Racing starts 1.45pm.
