Jakkalberry, who is owned by Tony and Luigi Muollo, stands at Novara Park and recorded the fastest last 600m ever in a Melbourne Cup (35.33 seconds) when he finished third. A Group 1 winner of 12 races and $2.5 million in prize-money, Jakkalberry is a son of Storming Home and his dam, Claba Di San Jore, has had seven foals to the races for seven winners.

Tony Muollo is the owner of Press Statement who has won three times from as many outings and gave Waller his 14th Group One win of the season“The family has been good to me and I think there is more to come in the spring. The hard part was getting him to the race today,” Waller said.“He was a maiden when he won his first start at the end of April. He has now had three starts for three wins and has gone from kindergarten to a Group One win.”Waller said there were several options for Press Statement next season.“There is the Caulfield Guineas in the spring or who knows he might be a horse for the Stradbroke Handicap up here next year,” he said.Winning jockey Tye Angland is also a huge fan of Press Statement who he rates as potentially among the best horses he has ridden.“I rode him in a trial and said he was a potential Group horse. Thankfully he has proved me right,” Angland said.The Waller-Muollo connection had more success recently when close relation to Press Statement, the 4 yo gelding Marenostro winning in Sydney last week.
