The Everest 2022: How Winx taught Chris Waller to deal with pressure

Chris Waller's horse, Nature Strip, is favourite to win The Everest at Randwick on Saturday. The trainer's experience with Winx taught him how to deal with pressure. McDonald collected his sixth group 1 on Madame Pommery at Caulfield on Wednesday. He flew back to Sydney to be with Nature Striptease.  Waller teared up when asked about WinX giving birth to a filly last weekend. She took the training to another level. Wallers needed six months to overcome the emotional comedown after Win x retired. Verry Elleegant, a Melbourne Cup winner, and Nature Stripe have emerged as quickly as they did.
