Waller on a winner

CHAMPION trainer Chris Waller is tipped to have another major winner in his stable in the new season with New Zealand jockey Michael McNab.

Waller’s Queensland stable manager Paul Shailer tipped big things for McNab after the jockey won on Irish Optomism at Doomben on Saturday. It was McNab’s first metropolitan winner in Brisbane after he was lured from NZ to be Waller’s Queensland stable jockey.

“It is good to get going for Chris and Paul. “I’m starting to settle in now and the weight is coming off steadily. I’m loving the lifestyle here,” McNab said.
