Waller does it again

19 August 2015

Sydney’s champion trainer Chris Waller has struck again with a WS graduate. After sending Pins’ son No Return out for his maiden success at Newcastle on Tuesday, he struck at Seymour this afternoon with Multifacets.

Racing out of the expatriate Kiwi horseman’s Flemington stable, the O’Reilly colt had finished fifth on debut at Sandown earlier this month. He showed the benefit of that outing and the step up to 1600 metres with his opening victory in Damien Oliver’s hands.

The three-year-old is out of the unraced Pins mare Swarovski, a half-sister to the Listed Rotorua Stakes winner Glitzy. Multifacets was a $75,000 Karaka purchase by Waller in 2014 and holds a nomination for the $A1 million Caulfield Guineas on October 10.

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.
