Known to each other side from the other side of the world, James Doyle and Humbolt Current have reconnected to win at Rosehill. The top English jockey rode Humbolt Current, then trained by William Haggas, to victory for Her Majesty the Queen at Windsor in July last year. The son of Fastnet Rock was transferred […]

Summer plans for stakes-placed filly Lucicello are uncertain but winning jockey Jason Collett has no doubt she can make her presence felt this campaign. The Chris Waller-trained three-year-old resumed off a let-up in Saturday’s Shopper Media Handicap (1100m) at Rosehill and quickly rounded up her rivals to score comfortably. It was her first start since […]

Consistent Alward broke through for an overdue win to give champion trainer Chris Waller winners in three states on Saturday. Alward ($7) scored his first win since August when he wore down leader Kubis ($7.50) to score by a half neck in the Ascot Green Handicap (2000m) at Doomben. The unlucky Fighting Teo ($3.60) was […]

Chris Waller’s best chance yet to win the biggest race on the Australian calendar didn’t materialise in 2019, but the champion trainer has vowed to keep trying.

The Cups king might be gone but Waller, who is known for systematic, meticulous attention to detail, borrowed the 10,000-metre rule […]

Before Tommy Berry even started riding he wanted to win a Melbourne Cup and the Sydney jockey believes Youngstar has a chance to help him complete the feat at Flemington on Tuesday. Berry has been a regular fixture in Melbourne Cups in recent years, coming closest in 2015 when the Ed Dunlop-trained Trip To Paris […]

This wasn’t just a horse race, this was sporting theatre at it most compelling. There was Glen Boss, finding a way through on Kolding when most thought his race was over. There was Chris Waller, again masterminding another big-race coup. As it has been most of the Sydney spring carnival, it was Boss and Waller […]

Noel Greenhalgh feels like there is a sense of destiny about Finche after drawing barrier four and riding a wave of unprecedented success from trainer Chris Waller into this year’s Melbourne Cup. Waller had the first two horses out in the Cup barrier draw. Youngstar’s connections drew gate nine before part-owner Greenhalgh stepped forward to […]
