Ocean Park colt remains in Ellerslie contention

24 December 2017

Ocean Park colt Scream Park is closing in on a return home for next month’s Karaka 3YO Classic at Ellerslie. The three-year-old completed consecutive wins at Warwick Farm with success there yesterday afternoon for trainer Chris Waller.

“His maiden win was on a wet track and he drifted out wide, today he struck a three-horse field,” Waller said. “We do think he’s got a lot of ability, it’s just hard to measure against a small field and wet tracks.”

Waller said he will run Scream Park on the same course on January 6 before committing to the Ellerslie feature. “We had a quick look this morning, which is always a good sign before a race, confidence from the trainer.”

The Corner with Garry Chittick

The two of you will be aware of my ongoing concern as to the future of our sport. You could argue I have a vested interest; well, I did have, but my interest now is to give the future generations the opportunity my generation had. Now I can tell you, hand on heart, there were many financial thin times. 1975 was my fledgling start with five mares on 130 acres that occasionally flooded with the well-bred, non-race-winning Super Gray.
