Aussie Nature Strip blows away world’s best at Royal Ascot | DamienRactliffe
The world’s fastest horse Nature Strip has conquered the world’s most coveted five-day carnival, blowing away the best of the best down the Royal Ascot straight on Wednesday morning in the King Stand Stakes.
“Australia’s got a huge racing industry, a huge breeding industry, and to showcase our breeds and what we do is important,” Waller said after the win. There was drama from the start after Khaadem left the gates without his rider and race favourite Golden Pal was slow away. Nature Strip, the Everest winner, took his usual 150 metres to get into his rhythm, but Sydney jockey James McDonald looked composed as he gradually sent the sprinter to the front of the field, before racing away over the final 250 metres.Chris Waller trained Nature Strip to victory at Royal Ascot on Wednesday morning.
If Waller elects to run Nature Strip again on Sunday morning, he’ll have to take on stablemate Home Affairs who McDonald is already booked to ride. Victorian premier jockey Jamie Kah is in London on standby for the ride.“We’ll get him through today,” he said.
