Wallers's Warwick trifecta

Wallers's Warwick trifecta

08/21/2010 06:22:38 AM

Sydney's Chris Waller astoundingly trained the first three runners home in the Group II Warwick Stakes (1400m) on Saturday at Warwick Farm.

Multiple Group I winner Metal Bender saluted ahead of Triple Honour, with Danleigh third.

"It's a privilege to be training these types of horses and when it works out like that it's unbelievable," Waller said.

"To finish 1-2-3 in a race like this, it's hard to believe."

The win also gave jockey Tim Clark a feature double after he was successful aboard the Peter Snowden-trained Parables in the Silver Shadow Stakes.

"I knew coming to the races today I had a really good book of rides, but you need a lot of things to go your way to win two feature races like this," Clark said. "Luckily today was my day."

Metal Bender will have his next run in the Group II Chelmsford Stakes (1600m) at Randwick on September 4 before he heads to Melbourne to continue his Cox Plate campaign.

Triple Honour is also likely to contest the Chelmsford Stakes, but his main priority is the Caulfield Cup.

Danleigh will stay in Sydney with the Group I George Main Stakes (1600m) his Sydney grand final at Randwick on September 27.
