Another Successful Waller Project

Good Project | Inglis

Good Project handed trainer Chris Waller a 10th Group 1 of the spring season and owner C C Lai a second this month–after Delectation (Aus) (Shamardal)'s score in the G1 Darley Classic at the Melbourne Cup Carnival–when taking out Ascot's G1 Railway S. Saturday. The winner of a 1200 meter benchmark 85 race at Rosehill to kick off his spring campaign Sept. 12, Good Project was placed twice at that level in Sydney before winning over this trip in a benchmark 92 race at Randwick Oct. 17. He was second when dropping back 200 meters at Flemington Nov. 3, and was making his Group 1 debut here. Jumping strongly and heading straight to the lead, Good Project managed to make all to post a clear-cut win.

“He is a lovely colt and he is a lovely horse to deal with,” said Justine Hales, foreperson to Waller. “Everything he does he just takes in his stride and that is what has helped him.”

“He is now a Group 1 winner and it gives me a great thrill to come over to Perth and win one of their biggest races,” said jockey Craig Williams.
