Waller weekly news
AUGUST 30, 2013
Hidden Kisses pricks her ears past the post in front of her fast finishing stable-mate Royal Descent.
Warwick Farm provided a fair track on Saturday and one that staged another successful day for the stable with three winners and
our bevy of resuming stayers in the G2 Warwick Stakes all performing well and most importantly, pulling up well.
Three of our winners this week boast the (NZ) suffix and all are great examples of the promise horses can deliver with patience is
applied. The other, Hidden Kisses, was an astute purchase at the Magic Millions as a yearling, costing just $25,000 and having now
reaped her owners just shy of $550,000, she promises even more value now as a broodmare having secured black type in winning at
Group 3 level on Saturday.
Although we get plenty of publicity as purchasers of successful European stayers, we ensure we cover all of our bases by stocking the
stable with horses for all courses. Our 2013 yearling sale purchases will hopefully unearth a Karaka Million runner and some classic
race stars next season, Magic Millions candidates, and Inglis Bonus race horses. In the NSW Racing magazine it was pointed out that
we trained the top 2 BOBs earners last season in Oompa Loompa and Relaxed and Happy and with our Melbourne stable waiting to
hot up we look forward to our Super VOBIS eligible horses stepping out down there. While the sales season is fairly concentrated,
all the while, we’re on the look out for promising types that catch our eye with the likes of Saturday’s winner Zataglio being a
relatively inexpensive purchase from New Zealand in May and who in his first, short Australian prep has preformed above
expectations.
We have another exciting time lining up at Rosehill tomorrow. Click here for the fields & click here for the weekend preview.
Wishing you all a safe and successful weekend, the team at Chris Waller Racing.

Ipsum RACING – WINNERS THIS WEEK
CHRIS
LUCRIPETOUS
Lucripetous has most definitely found form and on Saturday at
Warwick Farm, he recorded his second win in a row. Again aided by a
good ride by Nash Rawiller the improving son of Pentire confirmed his
class and justified his long-term aim of the Sydney Cup in the autumn.
Having pulled up well, he’ll stay in the stables for another one or two
runs at restricted level while he can, allowing him to continue to
perfect his race craft ahead of his lofty sights.
ACAPELA
With her connections flying her across the Tasman to get away from
the wet NZ winter, Acapela repaid their generosity when she saluted
first over 1600m at Warwick Farm on Saturday. Brenton Avdulla, a
deft hand at dealing with quirky mares, positioned her well, in the
second half of the field with cover, and on entering the straight, the
strong daughter of Elusive City let down to put 0.5 lengths ahead of
herself and a field of seasoned Sydney gallopers.
Lucripetous
HIDDEN KISSES
Having her second run for the stable, Hidden Kisses made it two from
two and added some valuable black-type to her pedigree with her
Group 3 Toy Show Quality win. With race fitness on her side, the
tenacious daughter of Hidden Dragon staved off a late challenge from
fast finishing stable-mate Royal Descent who looks on track for her
spring assignments.
Acapela
ZATAGLIO
Zataglio rounded off his first Australian preparation in the best possible
fashion, putting together all he’s learnt in his four starts to win over
2400m in fine style. Having arrived in Sydney in June, he hasn’t put in
a bad run and has improved each time out. By Waikato Stud’s Cox
Plate winning sire Savabeel (Zabeel), he looks a promising stayer in the
making and now heads to the paddock for a bit of Aussie sunshine and
a well-deserved rest.

BOBS delivers REAL REWARDS FOR OWNERS
NSW Racing’s Breeder Owner Bonus Scheme (BOBS) isn’t just another excuse for Chris to get his face
on the telly with their TV commercial, it’s actually a valuable incentive for owners to increase their
returns. This week we have gone through the 70-odd 2yos in our system and made sure that those that
are eligible are nominated for BOBs 2013. To be eligible for the lucrative bonuses the sire must be paid
up and the nomination fee of $990 paid. We encourage all owners to nominate their horses for BOBs and
this week Liam’s been busy canvassing our individual owners to enter their horses while those purchased
through CWR that are raced by syndicates are entered by the stable.
Last season the stable provided the top two BOBs earners with Oompa Loompa (pictured right jumping
for joy at the prospect of an extra $20,000 for winning) and Relaxed and Happy.
To find out more about BOBs and BOBs Extra scheme, visit the BOBs Website
GEARING UP FOR SPRING RACING…
TOUR THE NEW RANDWICK
Everybody has an opinion on the new look Royal Randwick and love it or hate it, it’s here to stay.
Unlike Liam, we don’t all get a junket to the Chairman’s Room and while at the races it’s hard to
take in the full compliment of facilities at the grand new structure so the ATC are running exclusive,
access all areas tours in groups of 20. The tours take two hours and are concluded with refreshments.

GET YOUR OUTFITS SORTED
As we look towards the spring carnival we will try and give you a few tips on what’s in for the season. Milliner Ann Shoebridge, who
among her classy clients is Mary, the Crown Princess of Denmark, is one of five recent finalists in the hat designer of the year
competition in Paris.
Says Ann of what’s inspired her this spring “My collection this season is inspired by Tokyo - the city lights, cherry blossoms and sake
on a warm night.”
Hat styles: button style, mini beret and small hats are
fashionable – they are easy to wear, fun and don't take
up space in the wardrobe!
Fashion tips: black and white is an eternal classic
come race time and pastels are another spring race
classic. Rework your existing wardrobe with the latest
accessories - chic designer sunnies, gorgeous costume
jewelry and a new hat of course!

The latest edition of the 4 Tracks 4 Kids walk is set to kick off on 7
October. Richard Callander and co will step out from Warwick Farm
in the wee hours of the morning and make the trek to the Sydney
Children’s Hospital while swinging by every racetrack in Sydney. To
date the charity has raised almost $1.5 million to benefit Australian
children. As well as helping a very worthy cause the walk is a great way
to meet some like-minded people as Kerrie and Haylie found last year.
Visit the 4 Tracks 4 Kids Website for more information.
