A quinella for master trainer Chris Waller in the group 1 Turnbull Stakes and Gai Waterhouse’s golden ticket for the Melbourne Cup with front-running stayer Just Fine. Racing at Flemington had a bit of everything.
Rain soaked the Flemington track on Saturday, but the cream still rose to the top. Master trainer Chris Waller ran one-two in the group 1 Turnbull Stakes and as a result reordered betting for the Caulfield Cup and Cox Plate.
“Her run last start was so far away from her true form that you could do nothing else other than put a pen through it,” Waller’s racing manager Charlie Duckworth said. Buckaroo’s path forward is less clear, but equally exciting. After pushing Via Sistina right to the wire, the gelding is now favourite for the October 19 Caulfield Cup .Loading“It is a tricky one,” Duckworth said post-race of a potential rematch with Via Sistina around the tight-turning Moonee Valley course. “We won’t worry about that today. We’ll just enjoy the win and enjoy the placings.”who presented the winner’s trophy as part of his new gig.
Then as she sat trackside for the TV cameras, she took the time to reapply her lipstick before flipping closed her pocket mirror and planting a kiss on broadcaster Jason Richardson’s cheek.“He’s a lovely horse. He looks so good. His tail, his coat, everything about him. I knew once he got into the rhythm they just wouldn’t catch him.”
