Jason Collett has found the key to getting Invinzabeel back to the winner’s circle, riding him to a narrow victory at Rosehill. Until Saturday, the Chris Waller-trained gelding had not won since May but his good record meant he carried top weight of 59kg in Saturday’s Thoroughbred Breeders NSW Handicap (1400m). Collett had the $26 […]

Kaonic brought back memories of Kermadec at Randwick, as the colt locked onto the same spring path as the Group One winner. Racing in the same colours as Kermadec for owner Neville Morgan, Kaonic’s second win in three starts rubber stamped Chris Waller’s plans to send the three-year-old to Melbourne. After claiming the 2CH Handicap […]
