THE sleeping giant of Sydney racing is stirring. Gai Waterhouse watched in growing anticipation early yesterday as her stable stars impressed with a series of brilliant gallops at Royal Randwick trackwork, reports the Sydney Daily Telegraph.
It says: And to lift the mood even further, the queen of the turf also announced she had taken over as trainer of American sprinter Cannonball.
Waterhouse has endured a quiet start to the New Year, leading in only two winners from the past eight city meetings. But she seems set to kick-start her Sydney premiership defence and launch her autumn carnival assault when big-race action returns to Randwick on Saturday.
Waterhouse's team invariably rises to the challenge on their home track and she was yesterday confidently talking up her chances in the six stakes races at the meeting, most particularly with glamour three-year-olds Manhattan Rain and More Joyous.
