THE unstoppable Chris Waller training spree continued with an historic treble at Flemington yesterday, highlighted by the win of Dystopia in the Group 3 Mumm Stakes.

This was the first time Waller has trained three winners on a day at Headquarters, and the first time any trainer has boasted three winners on a day of the carnival since 2008.

Waller had a 100 per cent strike rate as his only three runners saluted.

He started with Marmelo ($3) in the opening event, the Flemington Style Plate (1700m), and made it a running double with Multilateral ($3.80) in the Swisse Wellness Trophy (1800m).

However it was the win of Dystopia ($5) that was important, being the first Flemington winner he has trained for the Ingham family.

Dystopia defeated the Robert Smerdon-trained Shamal Wind ($6.50) by one-and-a-half lengths, with She Can Skate ($7) fighting on well for third, a short head away.

John Ingham said it was most rewarding to win a Group race at Flemington with the regally-bred mare, who cost more than $1 million as a yearling. The now seven-year-old daughter of Redoute's Choice out of Bourgeois, the dam of Stratum, made amends for another of their stable, Catkins, being beaten a whisker by Red Tracer in Saturday's Group 1 Myer Stakes.

"We are in it for racing now," John Ingham said, "now we have sold the stud."

"She will make a good broodmare but we wanted to race her, and it is great to win a race with Chris at Flemington during the carnival," he said.

Waller won with Zoustar and Red Tracer on Saturday and his three wins yesterday continued his extraordinary hit-rate.

"It is a team effort. That is shown by the fact we had three different jockeys win the races today _ Glyn Schofield, Jim Cassidy and Hugh Bowman.

"Hugh has one a lot of work with this mare. She is not easy to handle but she has a lot of ability.

"I'm proud to have one winner on a day at a carnival like this, but to have three is special," he said.
