"I am a bit disappointed that I am only second in line to ride him in the Winter Cup," Taylor said.
"It will be interesting to see what weight he gets."
Romany was guaranteed a start with his win yesterday.
Chris Johnson, who missed the ride yesterday through suspension, has the mount in the $100,000 Winter Cup at Riccarton on August 7.
Johnson has ridden Romany in five of his seven wins and his previous seven starts.
Three of those wins have come on rain-affected tracks in eight starts in the past three and a-half months.
"He [Romany] had an attitude problem but with Chris riding him this season, he seems so different," Laurie Jarvis, the Riccarton owner-trainer of Romany, said.
Johnson has won the Winter Cup on Kar Dan (1986) and Robyn's Affair (1991).
Taylor rode Tangarakau to win the race in 1997.
He said Romany had won more easily than his neck margin suggested.
"He should have won by more.
He waited for the challenges to come and only did as much as he had to."
Taylor shifted from New Plymouth to Pukekohe seven weeks ago.
"It is something I should have done a long time ago. There is just so much more happening there and not the some amount of travelling," he said.
Jarvis (as Laurie Buzan) had the unplaced Inga in the 1996 Winter Cup.
Inga, who won 15 races, finished second to Glenharrow in the Winter Cup Trial at Ashburton that year.
The Truly Vain gelding had his last race in the 1998 Winter Cup Trial won by Trounced who won the Winter Cup that year.
Jarvis raced Inga with her father Boyd Buzan.
Romany is by Al Jadeed out of Miss Collins, a half-sister by Colonel Collins to Inga.
Al Jadeed died in December, 2005 when in his second season at the Berkley Stud at Greenpark.
He won the group two Ascot Royal Lodge Stakes (1600m) as a 2yr-old in England.
Romany is the third foal Jarvis and her husband, Rodney, have bred from Miss Collins, who did not win in eight starts.
Her first foal, Bracewell, won for Jarvis at Ashburton in August 2008.
Jarvis did not try the second foal of Miss Collins, a My Halo filly who has gone to stud.
She left the mare empty for the next three years to assess her earlier progeny.
Miss Collins foaled a filly by Lucky Unicorn last year.
The family was not in the Stud Book until Miss Collins began breeding.
She was out of Royal Regards (by Vice Regal) and traced to Sweet Christine, a Kurdistan mare who left Crunch, the winner of 18 races in the early 1970s when trained by Rex Cochrane.
Trainer Shane Marr hopes to gain a Winter Cup start with Faaltless, an impressive winner of a rating 80 1400m race yesterday under 58kg.
It was the fourth win for the Faltaat gelding in his past five starts.
Marr said he would start Faaltless in the Winter Cup Trial at Waterlea on July 25 in an attempt to assure a start.
The winner of that race is exempt from the ballot for the Winter Cup.
Apprentice jockey Harry Kasim was suspended from Thursday until midnight on Saturday for excessive use of the whip on Whimsical Notion at Ashburton yesterday.
