Chris Waller yard


Nominated

3rd at Canterbury 3/1 2nd fav at present.

and nominated 6th at Sunshine Coast and Gosford.

.......Coolmore and associates are hoping that he will be as good as his full sister Sunlight......she amassed over Ozz$6M in stakes and was then bought by Coolmore in 2020 for stud duties for a whopping Ozz$4,2M ....that is a big price for a broodmare in any country and currency....

Multi-million dollar colt Kandinsky Abstract, the brother of star sprinting mare Sunlight, made a debut statement at Canterbury on Wednesday.

He has now put himself in the frame for a Group 1 JJ Atkins Stakes tilt.

The Zoustar colt out of Solar Charged, which went under the hammer for $3m at the 2022 Inglis Easter Yearling Sale, paid back a small portion of his sale price with an ominous performance at his first start.

Owned by several breeding heavyweights including Coolmore, Kandinsky Abstract was given a 10 out of 10 steer from leading jockey James McDonald in the All Too Hard @ Vinery Stud Plate (1200m).

McDonald burrowed his way out of a pocket at the 200m mark before Kandinsky Abstract ($3.90) surged clear to beat the Les Bridge-trained Celestial Legend ($18) by 1¼ lengths with Peter and Paul Snowdens' Vomo Island ($2.35 favourite) in third.

"He was good," McDonald said.

"He obviously got babysat the whole race and by a few jockeys on the corner but he was going pretty well to get out.

"I think he is a very nice animal. He moves extremely well with a great demeanour so he is in for a bright future.

"I just loved the way he executed his gallop. He relaxed well behind the pace and showed a very good turn of foot."

Waller wasn't on track to see the triumph but stable representative Damien Fitton confirmed a JJ Atkins Stakes assault was being considered however a final decision had yet to be made.

Kandinsky Abstract opened as a $51 chance in JJ Atkins Stakes betting with TAB on Wednesday morning but was quickly shortened into $15 before he even lined up at Canterbury on Wednesday.
