Waller's star primed to give lucky owners a $3m bonus Zoustar and Moriarty have a run at Flemington on Tuesday. The stud deal done, it will be back to business for $14 million colt Zoustar at Flemington on Saturday where his trainer, Chris Waller, is set to dominate. Sydney's premier trainer has Zoustar (Coolmore Stud Stakes) and Red Tracer (Myer Classic) as short-priced favourites in a couple of group 1s, but Waller knows there is a lot more to come. "We have a nice team to take to Derby day," Waller said. These are races you want to have runners in and to have two favourites shows we are doing something right. It was a great feeling to get the stud deal complete. We have had a couple of stallions in the past but nothing like this one. However, he is still a racehorse and that's what he is going to be doing on Saturday, racing and hopefully winning. Waller does not take anything for granted but the chance to possibly take Zoustar to Royal Ascot next year showed how he thinks. "If we get there I will be buying, not hiring, my top hat and tails because I want to go back again and again," he said. Only with the right horses, but it's those big days that we dream about. Zoustar, which has won five of his seven starts and $1.1 million in prizemoney, was keenly sought by studs as a son of Northern Meteor. Widden Stud signed off on the deal for Zoustar, which contains incentive clauses believed to be $3 million if the colt wins on Saturday and $2 million for each subsequent group 1 victory. The Hunter Valley stud was determined to get Zoustar after Northern Meteor, which stood at Widden, died three months after some remarkable results from his first crop of runners. Waller said Zoustar had thrived since arriving in Melbourne and has confidence in the colt, despite a tardy jump-out down the straight at Flemington last week. "He got a little bit lost in his jump-out, hence why we did it," Waller said. He came up the straight on Tuesday like an arrow shot out of a bow. It wasn't one of those kid's bows, it was a serious big bow that wins you Olympic gold medals. Red Tracer has reached her career peak in the past six months and is expected to win the Myer Classic, but Waller has a worthy back-up in Catkins, an impressive winner at Moonee Valley last Saturday. "She is my next Red Tracer," he said. She reminds me a lot of Red Tracer and she is just showing she is on that upward trend. I don't know if she can match Red Tracer just yet but she will run a great race. Red Tracer is the sort of horse that I love to train because she has been around for a long time and although it took her a long time to win her first group 1, she has always been there at that level. She has come back this time better and stronger than before and is racing that way. Waller already has Queensland Derby winner Hawkspur and Foreteller confirmed as Melbourne Cup starters on Tuesday and Moriarty and Kelinni will try to join them on Saturday. Moriarty runs in the Mackinnon Stakes where he needs to win to be assured of Cup start. "He is the sort of horse I'm already excited about for his next preparation," Waller said. However, you don't get to this time of year and not think about the Melbourne Cup, if he was to win we would have a real long think about running him on Tuesday. Kelinni won his way into the Melbourne Cup in the Lexus Stakes last year and is back in the same race again. "He is probably not going as well as he was last year when he ran fourth in the Cup, but he looks stronger," Waller said. His run in the Caulfield Cup was very good [when ninth] and I think he might be coming right at the right time again. Twitter - @ChrisRoots1
