The two were reunited in 2011 when Adrian Layt returned to Queanbeyan from a nine-month stint in the United Kingdom, and this year he has ridden five of his father's horses for five wins.

But he collected horse Grand Proposal's first win in 10 months at the Queanbeyan Racing Club meet on Tuesday in the 875 metre Maiden Handicap in its fourth start, which had trainer Neville Layt over the moon.

"It was only her fourth start and she was on a learning curve before, so we're very happy with her and when she gets to racing 1400 metres, you'll see a different horse," Layt said.

Neville Layt said his son Adrian had great qualities as a jockey, which he labelled a testament to his racing efforts that have seen him start in over 1300 races in two different countries, for a placing rate of around 25 per cent.

He said when it came to racing in Queanbeyan there was hardly a jockey who knew the track as well as Adrian.

"Adrian's good around here. He knows the track like the back of his hand," Neville Layt said.

"Adrian will be riding most of my horses this spring season. I've got a couple of horses that are better suited to other jockeys, but certainly most ride great with Adrian on their back."

Meanwhile Layt plans to inject Grand Proposal into the prestigious Queanbeyan Cup race on November 29.

"I've got some nice horses like her coming through, and some other babies with only a few starts," Layt said.

"It's all uphill from here...they're all going forward, most are three year olds, so we've got something to look forward to."
