CELLARMAN returned to winning form in the Listed Ladies Day Cup at Hawkesbury on Thursday when again he showed his great determination after some time away from the Winners Circle. It was masterful planning once more by our great trainer Chris Waller and the mile distance suited the 6 year old gelding perfectly. CELLARMAN commenced this preparation on the Gold […]

It was an exciting day at Rosehill Gardens on Saturday with the inaugural running of the Golden Eagle. Race 3 was most exciting for Star as our two greys stormed down the outside of the field to quinella the 1,500 metres Benchmark 88 Handicap, with very little separating them right on the line.

This time of year is the pinnacle of racing in Australia with the first Tuesday in November not far away and it was timely to see our “purple and white stars” on the board at the Gosford metropolitan meeting on Thursday with the son of Melbourne Cup winner Fiorente (IRE), our 4 year old entire […]

Naming a horse OLYMPIC can be a great idea, but the weight of expectation about whether he or she will be a gold medallist or in fact no medallist at all, can often be a topic of conversation. Our 3 year old gelding (by Medaglia D’Oro (USA) which translates to gold medal) who bears this […]

Last Saturday Royal Randwick hosted the inaugural running of the $1 million Bondi Stakes run over 1,600 metres for 3 year olds. Our talented colt KUBRICK made sure that his name remains in the record books as the first winner of the race. With Brenton Avdulla aboard, the son of Shooting To Win jumped cleanly […]

The ever consistent FORTENSKY and his stablemate THE AVENGER ran the quinella in the 1,350 metres Open Handicap at Doomben on Saturday turning the tables on the last time they had met at Eagle Farm when THE AVENGER was first past the post. Each gelding is racing well and it was good to see that […]

Three year old gelding SOMERVELL raced 3 times for a third in Sydney, before recently transferring to Chris’ Gold Coast stable for a change of scene. Chris believes that a trip away can assist to mentally mature a horse, thereby playing a significant factor in ensuring that he gains more confidence and at the same time learns to […]

The benefit of Chris having a very successful Gold Coast stable was highlighted again on Saturday, when two of our well travelled metropolitan winning horses featured in the finish of the open 1,400 metres handicap at Eagle Farm. In a driving finish THE AVENGER and jockey Michael Cahill “got there” on the line, with travelling […]

Why the celtic green jewel, […]
