Gai Waterhouse primed to improve her extraordinary record in the Apollo Stakes Gai Waterhouse has a strong contingent entered in the Apollo Stakes. Picture: Michael Klein GAI Waterhouse has Group 1-winning stayers Glencadam Gold and Laser Hawk primed to thwart the Chris Waller juggernaut and improve her extraordinary record in the Group 2 $250,000 Apollo Stakes at Warwick Farm on Saturday. Waterhouse already holds the race training record with seven wins from Pharaoh (1994), Juggler (1995-96), Ha Ha (2002), Grand Armee (2005), Desert War (2007) and Tuesday Joy (2009). Her chances of winning an eighth Apollo Stakes soared after confirming Rosehill Guineas winner Laser Hawk, a half-brother to Desert War, has been cleared to return to racing after overcoming a minor hoof problem. Laser Hawk and Glencadam Gold are among 14 entries for the race. Waller has 2011 Apollo winner Danleigh, Albert The Fat, Gatewood, Kelinni, Shoot Out and Tougher Than Ever. JOCKEYS Michelle Payne, Anthony Darmanin and Michael Walker were found guilty of betting on thoroughbred racing and each fined $1000 by Racing Victoria stewards yesterday. Walker said that he was under the mistaken belief that Australian jockeys could bet just like New Zealand jockeys, but not on another horse in races they rode.
