Chris Waller is pushing for the Sydney Cup
Chris Waller is pushing for the Sydney Cup to get a prizemoney boost. Waller, who saddles up favorite Kelinni in Saturday's Sydney Cup, told TVN's Racing Review that Sydney needs a “similar race to the Melbourne Cup”. He said the Melbourne Cup is worth $6 million and the Sydney Cup carries $500,000 in prizemoney. “We just need to build it,” Waller said. “The BMW is a great race. We should have them (all the best stayers) in town and if we can keep them for another two to three weeks that is what racing wants, they want to see the best horses running."
