Fabergino joins Chris Waller stable, Royal Ascot on radar for grey sprinter

Top WA mare Fabergino will join the Chris Waller stable for a possible career swan song at Royal Ascot.

WA trainer Tiarnna Robertson prepared Fabergino to win 12 of her 19 starts, banking more than $830,000 in prizemoney in a career that includes a Group 3 win and five wins at Listed level.

Fabergino has proven herself a terrific straight-track performer with four wins from six starts down the Flemington ‘Straight Six’ course.

Her straight-track prowess was part of the reason for Fabergino’s switch to the Waller camp.

The Group 1 King’s Stand Stakes is run down the straight five-furlong on the opening day of the Royal Ascot meeting.

“We are also in discussions with several potential buyers, including a part sale with Chris Waller’s clients,” Fabergino’s breeder and part-owner Jim Anderson told Racing and Wagering WA. “Chris has big plans for Fabergino, including a career-ending finale at Royal Ascot.

“She will then commence her next chapter as a broodmare and a service in England to one of the best European sires at the time.

“Part of Fabergino’s ownership crew include John Tierney and Martin McDonough, who live in the UK. They will have the opportunity of seeing her run in the flesh again.”

While the owners have shifted the six-year-old to the care of Australia’s leading trainer, Anderson hailed Robertson’s work with the sprinter.

“She did all the work to get Fabergino to where she is today and that won’t be forgotten,” Anderson said.
