Waterhouse and Bott Soar to New Heights in Thrilling Horse Racing Season
In a remarkable display of equine excellence, the dynamic training partnership of Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott has propelled their stable to unprecedented success this season. The duo’s midweek double at Canterbury Park has now seen them equal their previous best mark of 165 wins, with six weeks still remaining in the campaign.
Dominating the Racetrack
The Tulloch Lodge powerhouse kicked off Wednesday’s card in style, saddling their 32nd two-year-old winner of the season when Wanaruah led from start to finish in the Golden Mile @ Darley Handicap (1250m). This was quickly followed by Summer Loving’s maiden triumph in the James Squire Plate (1250m), cementing the trainers’ dominance.
“We have been trying to build the partnership, and you’re always trying to find those little milestones to keep improving on each year. Also, to improve the quality of the horses coming in and the longevity of their campaigns, everything that we can do to help get those better results each year.”
- Adrian Bott
Stellar Juvenile Performers
The backbone of Waterhouse and Bott’s success has been their stellar juvenile performers, highlighted by Lady Of Camelot’s virtuoso display in the prestigious Golden Slipper, as well as the dominant performance of Slipper placegetter Storm Boy in the Magic Millions Classic.
Wanaruah’s impressive debut victory at Canterbury has added his name to the illustrious list of two-year-old winners for the Tulloch Lodge stable, and Bott is understandably optimistic about the colt’s future prospects. “It was a really nice starting performance for him for his career,” Bott said. “There is a lot of upside there.”
Unprecedented Season
With the team’s unrelenting pursuit of excellence, Waterhouse and Bott have already shattered their previous best prizemoney tally, training the winners of over $29 million in stakes so far this season. As they continue their march towards an unprecedented campaign, the racing community eagerly awaits the next chapter in this remarkable story of success.
