Deep in the bowels of the Randwick grandstand, Chris Waller told the man he famously had posters of on his bedroom walls he had made a mistake. “We had a private chat,” Waller said of his heart-to-heart with Jimmy Cassidy before he legged him aboard Grand Marshal in the Sydney Cup. “I said, ‘Jimmy, I […]

To know how much it means to Chris Waller is to look at his bottom lip. It quivers and wavers and doesn’t know what to do. His crack colt Kermadec knows better. He emphatically won the $3 million Doncaster Mile on Monday at Royal Randwick, which was special for many reasons not least because he […]

The affection Chris Waller has for his horses was evident on two fronts after Catkins cruised to her 15th career win in the Group Two Emancipation Stakes. Sydney’s most consistent mare is clearly also a stable darling, with Waller marvelling at her incredible will to win after she made the race a one-act affair at […]

The meticulous placement that has been a trademark of Chris Waller’s success with imported horses is about to be challenged with former Hong Kong galloper Silverball.

WINX turned potential into performance when she toyed with her rivals in the Group 2 $175,000 Phar Lap Stakes (1500m) at Rosehill Gardens on Saturday.

Brazen Beau has upstaged the best sprinters in the world to win the $1 million Newmarket Handicap at Flemington. Dominating the race from the 200m for Hong Kong-based jockey Joao Moreira, Brazen Beau ($5.50) blitzed a field headlined by last year’s winner Lankan Rupee. The three-year-old was in a race of his own as he […]
