Weight relief has eased the burden for durable stayer Vassal, who also showed the benefits of a Queensland campaign before winning the Listed Christmas Cup at Randwick. In the aftermath of the six-year-old gelding’s victory, Sydney’s leading trainer Chris Waller pinpointed two contributing factors to Vassal’s turnaround from a struggle over the same 2400m trip […]

Chris Waller’s in-form filly Zumbelina posted her fourth consecutive metropolitan win at Rosehill on Saturday.

Chris Waller managed to quinella the Group 1 Kennedy Mile at Flemington on Saturday, but once again Tom Melbourne found one better after being overhauled late by stablemate Shillelagh.

Lee Magorrian was in no mood to celebrate after Mortar Platoon clung on to record the Irish apprentice’s first Saturday double at Randwick.
