A patient approach with high-priced youngster Osamu (Exceed And Excel) was rewarded at Tuesday’s Rosehill trials where the regally-bred 2-year-old won his 900 metre heat in fine style in the countdown to his first race day appearance. Trained by Chris Waller, the potential G1 Golden Slipper S. contender settled kindly on the fence for rider […]

Long before Winx, champion trainer Chris Waller made his name plundering Sydney’s staying races with tried horses imported from Europe. A snapshot of that success can be seen in the honour roll for Saturday’s Christmas Cup (2400m) at Randwick, a race Waller will be striving to win for the fifth time this decade. He will […]

Inaugural Golden Eagle winner Kolding has already pocketed more than $5million in prizemoney and more racing riches are in the pipeline including a potential tilt at the $5 million All-Star Mile at Caulfield in March. The Chris Waller-trained Ocean Park gelding has come up equal favourite for the second running of the All-Star Mile, sharing […]

Earlier this week Chris Waller talked to Racenet about the old stagers in his yard and the enjoyment they provide to their owners – on Saturday it was Alward’s turn to be the stable hero when scoring easily in the Listed ATC Cup (2000m) at Rosehill. Prior to winning at the Gold Coast back in […]

Chris Waller can’t rely on all-time great Winx anymore but that hasn’t stopped the trainer continuing to dominate feature racing.

Nature Strip booked his trip to Royal Ascot next year after producing a breathtaking performance to storm away with the $2 million Group 1 Darley Sprint Classic. In doing so, the supremely talented, but once slightly erratic galloper stamped himself as one of the best sprinters in the world, forever silencing those doubters who questioned […]

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.
