Champion trainer Chris Waller will wait until the spring rather than chase the group 1 JJ Atkins in Brisbane with the unbeaten Emirate after another impressive victory at Rosehill on Saturday.
The Extreme Choice two-year-old, which was a $1 million yearling, put down a marker for the future before the Rosehill meeting was postponed after five races because of visibility and footing concerns in awful conditions.And although Emirate was made an $8 second favourite for the JJ Atkins, Waller believes he can be a player in the bigger races in the spring as he matures.
“He is just going to love getting over a mile and was really strong late,” Rory Hutchings said of Mr Artemisia.The win was part of a winning double for Waller. Cigar Flick found the heavy conditions to her liking as she took the three and four-year-old Benchmark 72 before the meeting was called off.Franz Josef on his way
“We have seen the improvement from his first-up run to now at home and that’s what he showed there,” Alexiou said. “He is owned up in Queensland and there are a couple of nice races for him up there. I Wish I Win returned to favouritism for The Everest at $4.40 after the win, which Nolen said could have been more dynamic if the track wasn’t rain-affected.
Warmonger had a 10½ length margin on Moonlight Magic , and there was another 2¾ lengths back to Felix The Scat in third.
