NSW-trained horses have again dominated the Brisbane winter carnival winning more than half the black-type races on offer.
Since the start of the winter carnival in April there have been 54 stakes races with NSW winning 33.
Leading Sydney trainer Chris Waller has led the way with 10 stakes wins including three at Group One level – Comin’ Through (Doomben Cup), Youngstar (Queensland Oaks) and The Autumn Sun (J J Atkins).
Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott also had a big winter taking two Group One races with English in the Doomben 10,000 and Prompt Response in the Tatt’s Tiara.
Tony Gollan did best of the Queensland trainers winning the Group Three BRC Sprint with I’m A Rippa and two Listed races.
The lack of kiwi numbers at the carnival was emphasised by the New Zealand horses winning one black-type race, the Listed Daybreak Lover Stakes with the Tony Pike-trained The Bostonian.
