Joliestar Confirmed for Waller Racing Everest Slot

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday September 25

Winner of the Group I MRC Thousand Guineas last spring, high class Zoustar mare Joliestar has been re- programmed as a sprinter this year and has been selected to take the Everest slot of her trainer Chris Waller and his stable client partners.

 

A $950,000 Inglis Easter purchase from Segenhoe for Cambridge Stud, Joliestar has never missed a place in eight starts with four wins and four placings netting connections over $1.8million with the biggest pay day still to come.

Joliestar is likely to go into the race fresh with a trial to prime her for the world’s richest sprint, which has been won previously by chris Waller with Nature Strip and Yes Yes Yes.
