Waller Strikes In Two States
Chris Waller had another successful day out yesterday, which is becoming quite regular for him, a double at Rosehill Gardens and the success of Sacred Flyer at Flemington.
Punters rallied for Sacred Flyer on the strength on his good run at Sandown Park behind St Jean, who could be a definite spring prospect on what we have seen.
This was the second start for Sacred Flyer on a left handed track, he has certainly got the hang of the reverse way of going.
Waller’s stable manger, Justine Hailes was impressed with the ride of Chris Symons, horse and rider combined well together, the gelding travelled well throughout the race.
He is not a likely spring campaigner, he stays well and can handle the going, there will be plenty of suitable races over winter with the advantage of the soft going, and he has struck a purple patch of form.
His next assignment is likely to be the fifth heat of the Banjo Paterson series, over the same distance of 2500 metres, at Flemington on Saturday week.
Sacred Flyer is by the English Derby winner, High Chaparral, who was standing in New Zealand, once So You Think won his first Cox Plate, Coolmore soon brought him back to be relocated at Jerry’s Plains, in the Hunter Valley
Sacred Flyer, in the center, winning the Banjo Paterson's series.
