Waller Strikes First Blood

Tara Madgwick - Saturday November 1
Champion trainer Chris Waller drew first blood at Flemington on Derby Day when his Kiwi bred three year-old Kermadec came with a well-timed run to win the Group III VRC Carbine Club Stakes.

With only two previous runs under his belt for a win and a second at Warwick Farm and Randwick, Kermadec was one of the least experienced runners, but rose to the challenge.

TeofiloHe surged late to claim a narrow win over ultra-consistent Stratum Star, taking the 1600 metre feature by a half neck, his overall prizemoney soaring in excess of $171,000.

Kermadec will now be spelled with a view to the Autumn Carnival and races such as the Group I ATC Randwick Guineas.

A $260,000 NZB Premier purchase for Mulcaster Bloodstock from the Wentwood Grange draft, Kermadec was the most expensive yearling by Darley shuttler Teofilo (IRE) sold in 2013.

He is a half-brother to stakes-placed Good Winning and is the best of three winners from stakes-winning Fuji Kiseki (Jpn) mare Hy Fuji, a half-sister to the dam of stakes-winners Triple Elegance, Shoreham and At The Heads.

Kermadec is the 30th stakes-winner for Teofilo, a brilliant son of Galileo that shuttled to Australia for Darley for four seasons and has foals being born here this spring.
