Brogan takes honour with hat-trick

KUALA LUMPUR: Aug 31, 2010

VIVA VOLKSRAAD (Volksraad - Finishing School by Royal Academy) continued his good form of late to win the Table 1 Race over 1400m at Sungei Besi here today, and kicked start a hat-trick of victories for trainer Barry Brogan.

Ridden by apprentice Cheng Ke Ten, the five-year-old raced well up with the pace throughout, winning by half a length to create a mild upset for his fourth win in 13 starts, his third in his last four outings.

Cheng then combined with Brogan again to score an easy win with TEQUILA SUNRISE (Taimavoz - Starry Starry Nite by Ascot Knight) in the Maiden - 1600m handicap.

Brogan's third winner in this special one-day meeting for home based horses was ROAD TO GLORY (Daliapour -Dorset by Deputy Commander) who followed up on his last start win to take the Class 5 - 1800m handicap.
