Early Treble For Chris Waller And Inghams
- Saturday, 16 August 2014 08:04
Chris Waller has come a long way since Bob Ingham anointed him his trainer in a new family venture after selling his huge Woodlands racing and breeding operation to Sheikh Mohammed.
Waller now has many other clients and is entrenched as Sydney's leading trainer.
But a treble with Forever Crazy, Sensualism and Hoylonny for the Inghams from the first three races at Rosehill on Saturday was a special event.
"I speak to Mr Ingham every Friday and he still has a keen interest in the races," Waller said.
"It is great to train winners for him."
Forever Crazy ($6.50) led in a stable trifecta when she beat Scarletini ($8) and Made To Order ($6) to win the Merrylands RSL Club (1900m), reversing her disappointing last start unplaced run.
"We couldn't find the right race for her or Made To Order last time but this is the right one," Waller said.
"Scarletini ran her best race for us since she joined the stable."
Waller will look at a similar race this month for Scarletini who is owned by Team Valor and has a date with Animal Kingdom this year or next.
Team Valor raced Animal Kingdom in America until selling shares to Arrowfield before last year's World Cup.
Sensualism ($8.50) brought up the double when she held off the favourite All Salsa ($4) by a short half-head to win the Fairfield RSL Club (1400m).
The enigmatic Hoylonny completed the treble when he took out the Dooleys Benchmark 95 (1800m) as a $31 chance.
The six-year-old has mixed his form throughout his career and his win was his sixth from 26 starts.
Forever Crazy and Sensualism race in the famous Ingham cerise while Hoylonny sports the black and red silks of the family's late matriarch, Norma Ingham.
Waller's start to the day was enhanced by the win of Bagman at Caulfield and Lonnero at Kembla Grange.
