Show me a racecourse and I\u2019ll show you people from all walks of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But few trainers can boast of a relationship like the one all-conquering Waller had with Queen Elizabeth II. It wasn\u2019t just because he\u2019s a genius horse trainer who prepared some horses for her in Australia. It was genuine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Her Majesty became infatuated with Waller\u2019s Winx, arguably the greatest Australian racehorse of all time. Winx won her last 33 races straight. Upon the mare\u2019s retirement, Waller gifted Queen Elizabeth one of the shoes she wore in her final race. Fittingly, it was the Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Royal Randwick in 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Perhaps it was no surprise when the thoroughbred-obsessed Queen died in 2022, only 10 people from Australia (excluding dignitaries) received an invite. The New Zealander Waller was one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Only a few months earlier, the champion trainer had prepared Nature Strip to be his first winner at Royal Ascot in the King\u2019s Stand Stakes over five furlongs. For everything he had achieved in his career in Australia, it was a moment which almost overwhelmed him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt was straight after the race, I got ushered into a room and basically told, \u2018Her Majesty would like to speak to you\u2019,\u201d Waller tells <em>Idol Horse<\/em>. \u201cShe wasn\u2019t well, but she called.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat was pretty amazing. In a nutshell, that\u2019s how special the week can be and how lucky we are to be involved in a globally recognised sport. She just loved life, different sports, Australia, people and she had a very special love of (horse racing).\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" src=\"https:\/\/idolhorse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Waller-and-the-queen-1024x577.jpg\" alt=\"The Wallers and The Queen\" class=\"wp-image-39575\" srcset=\"https:\/\/idolhorse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Waller-and-the-queen-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/idolhorse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Waller-and-the-queen-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/idolhorse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Waller-and-the-queen-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/idolhorse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Waller-and-the-queen-500x282.jpg 500w, https:\/\/idolhorse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Waller-and-the-queen.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">STEPHANIE &#038; CHRIS WALLER, QUEEN ELIZABETH II \/ Photo from instagram <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/idolhorse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Waller-Queen-GettyImages-1422380284-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Chris Waller and James McDonald walk by a floral tribute to The Queen at Rosehill in 2022\" class=\"wp-image-39572\" srcset=\"https:\/\/idolhorse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Waller-Queen-GettyImages-1422380284-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/idolhorse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Waller-Queen-GettyImages-1422380284-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/idolhorse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Waller-Queen-GettyImages-1422380284-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/idolhorse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Waller-Queen-GettyImages-1422380284-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/idolhorse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Waller-Queen-GettyImages-1422380284-500x334.jpg 500w, https:\/\/idolhorse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Waller-Queen-GettyImages-1422380284-1895x1264.jpg 1895w, https:\/\/idolhorse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Waller-Queen-GettyImages-1422380284.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">CHRIS WALLER, JAMES McDONALD \/ Rosehill \/\/ 2022 \/\/\/ Photo by Mark Evans (Getty Images) <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are few that understand the history and tradition of horse racing like Waller, which is why Royal Ascot has always been a natural fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To call him a freak would be doing him a disservice. Having arrived in Sydney with one horse and a maxed-out credit card more than two decades ago, living off his wife Stephanie\u2019s modelling career, he might not just be one of the greatest self-made stories in horse racing, but Australian sport in general.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His work ethic is relentless, his methods meticulous and repeated year after year after year. The sight of Waller buried in his laptop in the press room seated alongside reporters during a raceday is not new. But it\u2019s how he keeps pace with a winning machine canvassing hundreds of horses in training at any time down the eastern seaboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 53-year-old is on track to smash all the training records in Australia, even if the country has a disproportionate number of Group 1 races compared to yesteryear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He\u2019s just ticked past 200 Group 1 winners and is fast closing in on the legendary Tommy Smith and Bart Cummings (both 246). Smith lorded over Sydney racing for decades, winning an astonishing 33 straight training titles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Waller is about to win his 16th in succession. His horses will rack up more than A$50 million in earnings for the season alone, and he\u2019s had three times as many starters as his nearest rival. Owners have long decided if you can\u2019t beat him, join him. It\u2019s not a matter of if you can afford to have a horse with racing\u2019s history maker, can you afford not to have one with him?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Which is why the sight of him flying to the other side of the world to tend to one horse, Joliestar, who will jump favourite in the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes over six furlongs on the final day of the carnival, is a peculiar one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Contrary to opinion, Royal Ascot has never been an obsession for Waller, not least of all because of the significant travel burden on his horses (Waller is an overly cautious handler) and the inferior stakes money to Australia\u2019s top sprints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou might be half-hearted about certain ideas, but when you get that taste, you want it,\u201d Waller says. \u201cI thought the same about the Melbourne Cup for a long time. We had a few runners and never really got into it much. Then one year we ran fourth and then I said, \u2018hello, this is winnable, this race\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Waller\u2019s first foray to the United Kingdom was forgettable. Group 1 winner Zoustar travelled and then picked up an injury. He didn\u2019t make the starting gates, but has since emerged as one of Australia\u2019s best stallions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The second traveller, Brazen Beau, made headlines for many reasons, not least of all because the colt\u2019s Australian jockey, Craig Williams, plotted a solo path down the stand side away from the main pack. He was beaten half-a-length.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nature Strip won in 2022, the same year another crack stallion, Home Affairs, failed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt was one of those occasions which was quite surreal,\u201d Waller says of Nature Strip. \u201cGoing to the start, I was quite nervous and wanted to keep occupied waiting for the minutes to count down. The gates crashed open and it was like 10 seconds later he was in front and looked the winner. It was so quick and so surreal, almost shock.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What most people don\u2019t realise is despite the infrequent campaigns at Royal Ascot, Waller once considered setting up a satellite base in the northern hemisphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhen we first went, I thought, \u2018should we get a small stable there?\u2019 We were getting a lot of imports at the time,\u201d he says. \u201cI even thought about Dubai. But gee we\u2019ve got it good in Australia. We\u2019ve got it so good. I\u2019ve really woken up to how lucky we are to be in Australia.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you were to find a prototype Waller horse, Joliestar might be it. She was always a talent, a Group 1 winner over a mile at three, but had flaws. She would often settle too far from the leaders, or stubbed her toe in track conditions which didn\u2019t suit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Waller didn\u2019t panic. He never does. Just as he turned Nature Strip from the headstrong, free-wheeling sprinter who would gas himself too early and too often, he slowly sprinkled his magic dust on Joliestar. And at the end of her five-year-old campaign, she\u2019s morphed into Australia\u2019s best sprinter, unbeaten in three runs this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But with the ominous and gargantuan shadow of Ka Ying Rising looming over this year\u2019s A$20 million The Everest, a trip to the other side of the world looks more appealing than a trip to the other side of Sydney.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf Joliestar happened to win, she\u2019s recognised globally forever,\u201d Waller says. \u201cShe deserves that opportunity because she\u2019s in the mature years of her career. She\u2019s showing that in her form, and she\u2019s unbeaten this preparation. She\u2019s racing consistently so she deserves that opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cShe\u2019s consistently raced the best sprinters in Australia. She hasn\u2019t always beaten them, but often there\u2019s been a reason: a track condition, a barrier, or luck in running. Her maturity now is overcoming those challenges.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And the key to travelling horses that far from home? Like always with Waller, simplicity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou cannot underestimate how important the recovery is \u2013 and it\u2019s so simple,\u201d he says. \u201cIt\u2019s drinking water, eating food and staying relaxed. That would be 90 per cent, training is 10 per cent. It\u2019s all about recovery and I allow seven days for recovery (once they land).\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If Joliestar wins, there will be no need for Waller to be ushered into a little room, waiting for The Queen to call. It\u2019s a shame, because Waller genuinely loved those conversations. He\u2019s a racing man, she was a racing woman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But he\u2019ll always have the memory of being able to talk horses with Her Majesty, corgis and all. \u220e<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-custom-feature-link\" mode=\"article\">\n  <div class=\"img-box\">\n      <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/idolhorse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BowmanIllustration-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"BowmanIllustration\" \/>\n    <\/div>\n  <div class=\"text-box\">\n      <p class=\"feature-link-subtitle\">\u30a2\u30c0\u30e0\u30fb\u30da\u30f3\u30ae\u30ea\u30fc<\/p>\n        <p class=\"feature-link-title\">\u30a6\u30a3\u30f3\u30af\u30b9\u306e\u91cd\u5727\u3001\u9999\u6e2f\u3067\u306e\u518d\u59cb\u52d5\u3001\u30d2\u30e5\u30fc\u30fb\u30dc\u30a6\u30de\u30f3\u9a0e\u624b\u304c\u8a9e\u308b\u4eca\u3068\u672a\u6765\u300c\u826f\u3044\u99ac\u304c\u3044\u3066\u3053\u305d\u2026\u300d<\/p>\n  \n  <\/div>\n          <a href=\"https:\/\/idolhorse.com\/ja\/horse-racing-news\/world\/hugh-bowman-on-winx-pressure-and-purpose-nothing-keeps-you-motivated-like-a-good-horse\/\" target=\"_self\"><\/a>\n  <\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-custom-feature-link\" mode=\"article\">\n  <div class=\"img-box\">\n      <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/idolhorse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Ikee-Illustration-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Ikee Illustration\" \/>\n    <\/div>\n  <div class=\"text-box\">\n      <p class=\"feature-link-subtitle\">\u30c7\u30a4\u30f4\u30a3\u30c3\u30c9\u30fb\u30e2\u30fc\u30ac\u30f3<\/p>\n        <p class=\"feature-link-title\">\u6c60\u6c5f\u89aa\u5b50:\u4e8c\u3064\u306e\u4e09\u51a0\u3001\u516d\u3064\u306e\u6709\u99ac\u8a18\u5ff5\u3001\u6c38\u9060\u306e\u907a\u7523<\/p>\n  \n  <\/div>\n          <a href=\"https:\/\/idolhorse.com\/ja\/horse-racing-news\/world\/ikee-and-son-two-triple-crowns-six-arima-kinens-and-a-lasting-legacy\/\" target=\"_self\"><\/a>\n  <\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For all his Australian dominance, Chris Waller\u2019s Royal Ascot story has always belonged to something bigger: Winx, Nature Strip, Joliestar and a rare racing bond with the late Queen Elizabeth II.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":39571,"template":"","categories":[278],"tags":[2572,2168],"class_list":["post-39603","article_post","type-article_post","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-world","tag-chris-waller-ja","tag-royal-ascot-ja"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.7 (Yoast SEO v27.7) -
