| Iskander Racing has a number of horses in work with trainers across the country. We have many up and coming youngsters starting to trial and race. Our currently racing include: Humma Trainer: Chris Waller, NSW Humma is a three year old gelding by exciting stallion Iglesia and out of Western Symphony mare, Blue Lady. After a courageous second on debut in April, Humma has since returned four encouraging efforts, the latest of which was a third placing over 1600m at Warwick Farm when beaten only 1.8 lengths. Humma is still developing but has always given trainer Chris Waller the impression that he is a talented galloper with the potential to furnish into a handy middle distance galloper. Iskander Racing part-owns Humma with three of Australia's Socceroos - Scott Chipperfield, Craig Moore and Zeljko Kalac. Chipperfield is a regular for Swiss champions FC Basle, Moore is at the heart of the Newcastle United defence in the English Premier League and Kalac is the reserve goalkeeper for Italian Serie A powerhouse AC Milan. Their introduction to racing was the idea of close friend and fellow joint owner Mav Vrlic. A one-time regular for Sydney United under the old National Soccer League banner, Vrlic was impressed by Waller's results and professionalism. Sheriff Iskander is delighted to have the footballers on side and is looking forward to the experience. "This is magnificent news for the racing industry," said Iskander. "The Socceroos are international sporting stars and their involvement is testament to the success of Chris Waller's stable and a fantastic promotion of Australian racing," he added. |
