Chris Waller loosens purse strings to snare new recruits Chris Waller's buying assault at the Tattersalls horses-in-training sale in Newmarket began on the opening day on Monday, when the trainer bought four horses for a total of 335,000 guineas ($560,000). It is well documented how Waller has found the knack of getting the best from the European stayers, - Foreteller, Moriarty, My Kingdom Of Fife and Stand To Gain are all great advertisements for his efforts. Waller does his work on perusing the Tattersalls catalogue while his representatives, NZ agent Guy Mulcaster and veterinarian Tim Roberts, fly into Newmarket to make the final inspections. Other Tattersalls graduates are Glencadam Gold and Julienas for Gai Waterhouse while David Hayes' Mackinnon Stakes hopeful Jet Away is another to come from the sale. Waller's day-one buys, which had him finish as the leading purchaser, were: Campanology (by Royal Applause). Formerly trained by John Murtagh, the gelding has won twice and had seven placings. He cost 100,000 gns. Danchai (by Authorized) had two wins and three placings for trainer William Haggas. He cost 90,000 gns and is by the same sire as Victoria Derby favourite Complacent. Voodoo Prince (by Kingmambo) was a member of Ed Dunlop's team and his dam is the seven-time group 1-winner Ouija Board. He has an exciting half-brother by Galileo named Australia, which has won two of his three starts for the Coolmore team, who sold to Waller for 80,000 gns. Murphy's Delight (by Hurricane Run) was the cheapest buy at 65,000 gns. He has had five starts for a win and three placings under David Wachman's guidance. On days two and three, Waller's representatives bought another four horses, including Circus Turn and Beyond Thankful for 145,000 gns each. Circus Turn is an interesting buy, as the galloper has won two races this year carrying Queen Elizabeth's colours. The gelding is by Darley sire Street Cry and is lightly raced after seven runs for two wins and three placings. Beyond Thankful has had 12 starts for a win and six placings. On Wednesday he claimed another two lots - Fracking for 100,000 gns and Buchanan for 72,000 gns - taking his overall spend to 797,000 gns. Both are lightly raced stayers in the making. Other buyers on Tuesday were Gai Waterhouse's agent John McKeever, who bought Bonfire (by Manduro) for 120,000 gns. The gelding has had eight starts for two wins and three placings and was well supported when sixth in last year's Epsom Derby. Waterhouse was underbidder on the top-priced lot of the sale - Bremner, for 280,000 gns - which will head to John Moore's Hong Kong stable. Paul Moroney paid 150,000 gns for Mister Impatience, which will go to Melbourne to be prepared by his brother, Mike. Sizzling Snitzel Thirteen was hardly the devil's number for Arrowfield stallion Snitzel. The son of Redoute's Choice had his special moment of glory in week 13 of the Australian stallions' premiership when Shamus Award took out the $3 million Cox Plate. The first prize sky-rocketed Snitzel past the big two stallions, Coolmore's Fastnet Rock and Darley's Exceed And Excel, for earnings totalling $3,082,427. Fastnet Rock is on $3,000,316 while Exceed And Excel's progeny have earned $2,821,945. But with both having the weight of numbers over Snitzel during Cup week, they are certain to pass him. Nonetheless, it was a noteworthy performance by Snitzel, regarded as a sire of sprinters, but adding another string to his bow with the all-the-way Cox Plate win over 2040 metres. French rendezvous The Aga Khan has announced Redoute's Choice will travel again to France next year where he will stand for the second time at his Haras de Bonneval farm in Normandy. Redoute's Choice covered 105 mares earlier this year, including several of his best-credentialed broodmares.
