The up and coming jockey confirmed he was booked for the ride via twitter on Thursday afternoon.

“Just confirmed the ride on Happy Trails in the Memsie #Cantwait (sic),” Schofield tweeted.

It will be Schofield's third Group 1 ride of his career after partnering David Hayes-trained outsiders Bradman and Fictional Account in the Spring Champion Stakes (2000m) and The Metropolitan (2400m) during 2012 Epsom Day at Randwick last October.

The Group 1 Memsie Stakes (1400m) will be Happy Trails' second start of a campaign aimed towards the Cox Plate at Moonee Valley in October.

Happy Trails resumed with a solid fifth in the Group 3 Spring Stakes (1200m) at Morphettville last Saturday.
