Waller: Beiwacht has "no reason" why he can't win Coolmore

Beiwacht is the favourite for the Coolmore Stud Stakes.

The Chris Waller trained Beiwacht is the $3.40 favourite (with Sportsbet) for the three-year-old Coolmore Stud Stakes (1200m) at Flemington on Saturday.

The son of Bivouac has had an unreal spring carnival so far including a 4.14 length victory in the Group 1 Golden Rose (1400m), where the colt broke the track record.

Now being fourth-up, the bay appears to be excellently prepped for the Group 1 sprint on the weekend.

The champion trainer even admitted that the three-year-old will have no excuses as to why he can’t win.

“What he did in the Golden Rose was special – he broke the track record,” Waller told SENTrack & RSN’s Giddy Up.

“His ratings are through the roof.

“So, it’s our job to simulate that and get him close to it again.

“He had a jump out down the straight last Friday, he was great.

Adam Hyeronimus sticks with him – he’s a really good, inform young jockey.

“There’s no reason why he can’t (win), it looks a good Coolmore field though.”

On top of Beiwacht, Waller is also running Skyglider in the Group 1, who is currently $19.

When Gareth Hall questioned if the two-time start winner can emerge victorious in this sprint, the trainer admitted that he probably won’t win.

Waller: “We’re bringing another one down too – Skyglider!”

“It’s only his third start in a race.

Hall: “Can he win?

Waller: “Probably can’t, but we’re bringing him down.

Hall: “Why then?

Waller: “Because he’s a colt and it’s a $20 to $30 million result.

Hall: “You may as well have a throw at the stumps.

Waller: “Exactly.”
