Asterix Hands Chris Waller Tattersall’s Cup Win At Eagle Farm

Asterix won the Group 3 Tattersall’s Cup over 2400 metres at Eagle Farm on Saturday, June 27, giving Chris Waller and jockey Tim Clark a fresh black-type staying success on Tattersall’s Tiara day.

The New Zealand-bred runner was listed first by Racing Queensland’s official result page for Race 6, the Tattersall’s Cup, which was run on a Soft 6 surface at the Brisbane track.

It was one of the key support contests on the Eagle Farm card, with the staying division getting its own Group 3 marker before attention moved fully to the day’s fillies-and-mares feature.

Why Tattersall’s Cup result matters

For Waller, the result added another Queensland winter staying prize to a stable already central to Australia’s middle-distance and staying programme. For Clark, it was a clean Group 3 strike on one of the support races around the final Group 1 of the Australian season.

The Tattersall’s Cup sits below the day’s headline Tattersall’s Tiara, but its timing gives the winner a useful platform after Brisbane’s winter carnival. Asterix arrived in a compact field and turned the 2400-metre test into the day’s key staying result at Eagle Farm.

The win also gives connections a neat late-season statement in a race that regularly attracts battle-hardened stayers from the eastern states. With the official result now in, Asterix leaves the meeting with a valuable Group 3 line on his record and fresh momentum for whatever Waller targets next.
