CHRIS Waller is the dominant trainer of Australian racing. In each of the past three seasons he has beaten Gai Waterhouse to be Australia’s leading Group 1 trainer and in the same time, his horses have won a stunning $60 million in prizemoney.   From humble beginnings, he now has 300 horses on the books […]

Chris Waller will use a proven template to give Counterattack his chance at an end-of-season Group One race. Waller announced Brisbane plans for Counterattack after the richly bred two-year-old scored a first-up win in the TAB Place Multi Handicap at Warwick Farm on Wednesday. It will put the late bloomer on course to follow in […]

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 […]

Being a close relation to an English Derby winner is unlikely to count for much when it comes to saving the manhood of first-up Warwick Farm winner Dance Of Heroes.

Glen Boss added another Victorian country cup to his collection with victory aboard Index Linked in the $100,000 Jack Hirsch Memorial Yarra Valley Cup. The three-time Melbourne Cup-winning jockey turned in a fine ride to get the Chris Waller-trained gelding home to a narrow-but-impressive win over fellow import Wish Come True. The victory was a […]

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. Sydney’s premier trainer Chris Waller, who was at Flemington where his crack colt Brazen Beau scored a brilliant win in the Newmarket Handicap, decided against a Coolmore Classic start for […]
