Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott Racing

Gai's Tip Sheet

Emma Reeves aids us with programming and identifies who she thinks is the best placed horse each weekend. Steel Strike, Saturday 1st August, Rosehill, Race 7: Owners have different objectives when it comes to racing, and once it became clear Steel Strike wasn't destined for a stallion career, it created an opportunity for a new ownership group to become involved. We were thrilled to welcome Darby Racing, who share our belief that he's a horse capable of providing plenty of fun at midweek and Saturday Benchmark level.Steel Strike is a lightly raced city winning four year old who we believe still has plenty to offer at midweek and Saturday Benchmark level. He's a remarkably consistent gelding, finishing in the top three in six of his nine starts. He resumed with his customary honest performance, finishing third and beaten less than two lengths. While he rises slightly in grade here, he drops in the weights, gets onto a more suitable expansive track and steps up to a distance that should suit him at this stage of his preparation. Although he's yet to win at this level, he has already been placed, suggesting a Saturday metropolitan victory is well within reach.Hopefully this group's faith is rewarded, but regardless of the result, I'm confident this genuine gelding will give everything he has and the owners will enjoy the ride.

Playing By The Rules

CAMON HOUDINI &nbsp;From the racetrack to the world stage of elite eventing, former Waterhouse-trained galloper Camon Houdini has carved out an extraordinary second career. Known as &ldquo;Hughie&rdquo; at home and competing under the name Humble Glory, the talented gelding has been partnered by Victorian eventer Sophia Hill since 2017, with the pair rising through the ranks together to become one of Australia&rsquo;s leading international combinations. Hughie has competed at four of the world&rsquo;s seven prestigious five-star events, showcasing the athleticism, toughness and versatility that thoroughbreds are so renowned for beyond racing. His impressive results include: 3rd place &ndash; Adelaide 5* 22nd place &ndash; Burghley 5* (UK) 6th place &ndash; Maryland 5* (USA) 10th place &ndash; Kentucky 5* (USA) The pair were also named as reserve combination for the Paris Olympic Games, a testament to their consistency and performances on the world stage. Sophia describes Hughie as a &ldquo;horse of a lifetime&rdquo;, admired internationally for his incredible jumping ability and fearless cross-country performances. &ldquo;He just keeps getting better,&rdquo; Sophia said. Looking ahead, the partnership has their sights firmly set on the upcoming World Championships in Aachen, Germany, with long-term ambitions of competing at the Los Angeles Olympic Games. Sophia is also currently seeking owners and supporters to join Hughie&rsquo;s journey as he continues competing at the elite level of international eventing. <a href="https://gaiwaterhouse.sharepoint.com/:b:/g/IQA4SRLkQKGOQrMdN3QSEhpYAZKnIi1p7E3elxjImCLWzBA?e=xTVtIR" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Click here for ownership opportunities.</a> We are incredibly proud to see another retired racehorse thriving in life after racing and wish Sophia and Hughie the very best for the exciting road ahead.

Where Are They Now?

Weight-for-age racing
There are three important issues concerning the Australian Weight-For-Age (WFA) races.
1. WFA races have come, foolishly, to dominate Australian racing, to the detriment of prizemoney distribution and returns to owners.
2. The WFA Scale should be tweaked. It is unfair.
3. As a general point, notwithstanding that the horse population has dropped, the number of Black Type races in general and WFA Group Ones in particular, have &lsquo;inflated&rsquo;, devaluing their &ldquo;Group One&rdquo; worth, to the detriment of breeders.
Weight-for-age domination
Racing is poorer with the modern preoccupation with WFA races over handicaps. Sadly, of Australia&rsquo;s 50 highest prizemoney races, only six are handicaps, quite the reverse of yesteryear &ndash; and it is a negative for both betting turnover and prizemoney distribution.
Punters prefer handicaps as a betting medium over WFA races &ndash; an obvious example is the hugely-publicised $20m Everest compared with the $5m handicap Caulfield Cup, run the same day. Last year, in spite of the overwhelming publicity Everest onslaught, Betfair only held $0.993m and only $2m was held on the NSW Tote. On the Caulfield Cup, Betfair held $1.6m and $2.417m was held on the NSW tote, trumping the Everest. Few in racing, would realise this is the case, but is normal and demonstrates the punters&rsquo; preference.
The slide to WFA racing a big mistake and it bad for racing&rsquo;s finances.
It is interesting that in 1930 when Phar Lap won the Cox Plate and Melbourne Cup double, the Cup was worth eight times the value of the WFA race. There is, sadly, not much difference now. Administrators were correct 94 years ago.
Importantly, in years to come, Black Caviar and Winx won&rsquo;t get the credit from form students that Carbine, Phar Lap and Kingston Town earned, as both the mares only faced handicaps with big weights just once, in the Newmarket and Doncaster, respectively. 
&ldquo;Tweaking&rdquo;
Let me say at the outset that if changes were to be made, the current racing population shouldn&rsquo;t be affected.
In assessing the current WFA Scale, two questions should be asked:
1. Is the proportion of runners from each age and sex category appropriate?
2. Is the ratio of results from each age and sex category appropriate? 
Runners:
Since 1991 (when anabolic steroids were discontinued) there have 240 WFA races and over 2500 starters.
<div style="text-align: left;"><img src="https://www.prism.horse/api/public/image/a1f066cd5e364c7cb62ae2b0e648c64b.png" alt="" /><img src="https://www.prism.horse/api/public/image/59986126a905418bb7568537a0da384b.png" alt="" /> </div>
Obviously, 3yos are underrepresented &ndash; with 217 of the total 2543 starters 3yos comprise only 8.5% of the WFA1 runners, whereas they constitute 25% of the Australian racing population.
Because of an irresponsible, nay vandalistic, alteration to the WFA Scale in 1998 in relation to races over distances beyond 2400m (&gt;2400m was removed as category, resulting in 3yos at 3200m going from 47kg to 50kg!), the Melbourne Cup, which used to be dominated by up-and-coming 3yos, has had zero Southern-hemisphere 3yo starters in 27 years. None. A travesty. Mean to the Cup. And obviously unintended and must corrected.
Females are also &lsquo;missing in action&rsquo;, fillies and mares WFA starters making only 22% of runners, males making the balance of 78% of WFA starters. This is plainly wrong.
Results
Notwithstanding the fact that 3yos start, on average, at shorter prices than any other age group in WFA races, reflecting the betting public&rsquo;s miss-assessment, one loses a giant 34.9% backing them. This clearly shows that 3yos are hard done by! They need a kilo extra relief.
Staying Northern Hemisphere 3yos need their 3200m allowance reinstated i.e. 3kgs. There is also no justification for this reduction of the NH 3yo allowance. The allowance since 2019 is unjustifiable by the Australian scale and, in my opinion, is xenophobic and unsportsman-like.
Females have a much smaller candidature but &ldquo;backing them&rdquo;, with the bookmakers&rsquo; percentage built in, you only lose 1.3%, compared to entires 23.6% (perhaps the cream are retired to stud) and geldings 13.4%. Anecdotally, some mares have built extraordinary records e.g. Black Caviar, Winx, More Joyous, Via Sistina etc.
It would be appropriate to increase the female allowance to 3kg, but subsequently reduce the filly and mare allowance by one kilo for each WFA1 win.
Number of Group Ones
When the pattern replaced the Principal Races in the 1970s, there were 54 Australian Group Ones or 0.22% of our races.
Our foal crop, (the racing population hasn&rsquo;t dropped by as much) has dropped since then by 25%. Our Group Ones should be down to 41 races. Instead we have 76 (with more demanded) or 0.4%. This higher than for every other major jurisdiction (US 0.29%; Japan 0.15%; UK 0.33%; Canada 0.23%).
What is to be done?:
1. 3yos to be given an extra 1kg allowance.
2. The WFA Scale to cover 3200m, and reinstall the 3kgs allowance to 3yos in the Melbourne Cup, as it was before 1998.
3. The North Hemisphere allowance 3yo allowance to be restored, giving them an extra kilo, as it was before 2019.
4. Females&rsquo; allowance to be increased from 2kgs to 3kgs but to lose one kilo for each Group One WFA win.
5. Fight another day on the issue &ldquo;too many wfas&rdquo; and &ldquo;too many Group Ones&rdquo;.

RAPID FIRE&nbsp; From unraced Thoroughbred to powerhouse vaulting star.&nbsp; Rapid Fire, now known as Rapha, may never have stepped out on the racetrack, but his story is one that truly defines what life after racing can become. From his early days in our stable to finding his forever home with Marly, Rapha’s journey has been built on patience, partnership, and belief.&nbsp; What started as potential without a clear path has grown into something extraordinary. With the guidance of an incredible team and Marly’s unwavering dedication, Rapha has transformed into one of Australia’s most consistent and high performing vaulting horses.&nbsp; Together, they chose the long way around, developing, learning, and growing side by side. That decision has paid off in the most inspiring way. From Pre Novice to FEI levels, to World Championship qualification, their partnership is proof that success is so much more meaningful when built together.&nbsp; Rapha isn’t just a competitor, he’s a teacher, a teammate, and a horse trusted by multiple athletes at the highest level. His calm nature, generosity, and athleticism make him truly one in a million.&nbsp; As Marly now takes the next step toward the 2027 Junior World Championships, Rapha remains at the heart of her journey, the horse who helped build the foundation for everything to come.&nbsp; Stories like this remind us just how incredible the Thoroughbred breed is. Their versatility, intelligence, and heart allow them to excel far beyond the racetrack. With the right guidance and partnership, they can truly become anything.&nbsp; 🔗 Click the links below to read more about Rapha’s incredible journey:&nbsp; <a target="_blank" rel="noopener" href="https://teamthoroughbred.com.au/2026/01/19/ex-racehorse-turned-vaulting-powerhouse/">Team Thoroughbred - Rapid Fire</a> <a target="_blank" rel="noopener" href="https://onedrive.live.com/:w:/g/personal/0e4cf741bfd87c47/IQB8G4oh0tlmTKIz8_XJSBTmAY-ip3E2Pt-DFmvV36gpXHE?rtime=W3CZcs6K3kg&amp;redeem=aHR0cHM6Ly8xZHJ2Lm1zL3cvYy8wZTRjZjc0MWJmZDg3YzQ3L0lRQjhHNG9oMHRsbVRLSXo4X1hKU0JUbUFZLWlwM0UyUHQtREZtdlYzNmdwWEhFP2U9THdWTzdl">Rapha's Story</a>

<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>In the main event in 2026 we have Shiki ($5) and Lumbini ($15) in the top 8 in betting. We also have The Three Hundred heading to the $1m MM Cup (1400m) after winning the Wyong MM 3yo and 4yo race, The Instructor on track for the MM Sprint (1100m), Shangri La Spring in great form leading into the $1m MM Stayers Cup (2200m), a few nice 2YOs set to land in the $500k Debut race, and a host of others a race away from booking their trip to the Gold Coast. We are also involving&nbsp;our&nbsp;owners in&nbsp;our&nbsp;2026 Sunlight Slot with current favourite Grafterburners set to run for us. <img src="https://www.prism.horse/api/public/image/09ae584dc8614bc384bad3711b6fe790.png" alt="" width="484" height="406" />

Wootton Bassett: The Tattersalls Triple Play

Emma Reeves aids us with programming and identifies who she thinks is the best placed horse each weekend.&nbsp;
Shangri La Boy, Saturday 25th October, Royal Randwick, Race 8: This colt is in his first racing preparation, which presents a challenge, but he&rsquo;s quite well in at the weights under the set weights conditions with only Within The Law and Queen Of Clubs rated above him. He won the key lead up by more than two lengths and, while this will be his first attempt at the distance, he was strong through the line that day, suggesting he will relish the extra ground. Most of his rivals are also untried at the trip. He remains against his own age group and has drawn well in barrier 2, so if he can control the tempo without too much pressure in front, he should prove hard to run down.

The&nbsp;Tattersalls&nbsp;Horses In Training Sale is a proven and consistent pipeline to Australian Group 1 success for Gai Waterhouse &amp; Adrian Bott, and we invite you to&nbsp;<a class="" style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;" title="https://iwl281.keap-link019.com/v2/click/bf88dcf8d1ad6cc469c37ec9c90b81f5/eJyNkFFLw0AQhP_LPseGJK2tgSKllHKmFhSFvpUzt7GH6d2x2bTWkv_uRqVPCr7ufjPDzBkYnXasDORgj3U6SSACwtIGi47n3rEuv743SXYdQW3d25J8GyA__yq9AP05mwyTZBwBnwIK9PQ4mxdqvdyu1LoQNmiSjH85DUdpdvFZ3M_UCrruT2PcW14cxLuBnKnFvpGx0oqfqRZ-xxyaPI5ftT1qRtr5tsFB4yumgQ4hRm-vKk_7W5F4MspM-0VK1b5vXqrRw136oSVFSHTmZ6ICT99Z3SdJOHBR" href="https://iwl281.keap-link019.com/v2/click/bf88dcf8d1ad6cc469c37ec9c90b81f5/eJyNkFFLw0AQhP_LPseGJK2tgSKllHKmFhSFvpUzt7GH6d2x2bTWkv_uRqVPCr7ufjPDzBkYnXasDORgj3U6SSACwtIGi47n3rEuv743SXYdQW3d25J8GyA__yq9AP05mwyTZBwBnwIK9PQ4mxdqvdyu1LoQNmiSjH85DUdpdvFZ3M_UCrruT2PcW14cxLuBnKnFvpGx0oqfqRZ-xxyaPI5ftT1qRtr5tsFB4yumgQ4hRm-vKk_7W5F4MspM-0VK1b5vXqrRw136oSVFSHTmZ6ICT99Z3SdJOHBR" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-u-link-value="eyJuYW1lIjoid2ViIiwiYXR0cnMiOnsiaHJlZiI6Int7aHJlZn19IiwidGFyZ2V0IjoiX2JsYW5rIiwiZGF0YS10YWctaWQiOiJ7e3RhZ319In0sInZhbHVlcyI6eyJocmVmIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9nYWl3YXRlcmhvdXNlLnNvZnRyLmFwcC9lb2ktZm9ybT9yZWNvcmRJZD1yZWNpY0l1eFhiZjVRSjJ6YSIsInRhZyI6W119fQ==" data-auth="NotApplicable" data-linkindex="0">register your expression of interest</a>&nbsp;to ensure you are the first to hear how to secure your share in the next European superstar.
