Cliff Brown to train in Singapore

SINGAPORE,  10 July 2007

Australian trainer Cliff Brown, 38, has been allocated stables by the Club and is expected to commence training at Kranji by the end of November.

A Licensed ‘A’ Grade trainer from Melbourne, Brown comes to Singapore with excellent credentials, including being the youngest trainer in the history of Australian racing to have trained three Derby winners at Group 1 level.

He has trained 13 Group 1 and 2 winners including the 1997 Rosehill Guineas, 2002 Adelaide Cup and the South Australia Derby in 1995, 1996 and 1999, along with numerous other black-type races.

Brown has had a number of Melbourne Cup runners including MARKHAM who ran a gallant third in 1997. He has been nominated for Training Excellence in the Victorian industry awards, the Fred Hoysted Award, for the past five years.

“I am looking forward to heading over to Singapore,” said Brown. “It has been something I have always wanted to do and I hope to achieve the same level of success I have enjoyed in Australia.”
