ASCOT, ENGLAND - JUNE 14: James McDonald riding Nature Strip celebrates victory in the The King's Stand Stakes during Royal Ascot 2022 at Ascot Racecourse on June 14, 2022 in Ascot, England. "That riderless horse gave me a fright. I thought, 'How has one gone with him?'
It was only Australia's seventh-ever winner at the world-famous event and Waller's first after finishing runner-up in the Diamond Jubilee stakes with Brazen Beau in 2015."It means a lot. We don't get a chance to come up and race against English, Irish, French and American horses, so to be able to bring a horse all this way and to win the way he did, it was pretty special."He's a very good horse for a very long time.
"It's very important to showcase them internationally," said Waller, after the gamble of bringing his charges on a 40-hour flight from Australia, with stops in Singapore and Dubai, paid off handsomely.
