Winning reunion for Legrix and Hill

SINGAPORE,  23 September 2007
 
Eric Legrix returns to scale on STILLETO - SNTC photo

During his time riding in Hong Kong, Frenchman Eric Legrix had ridden many winners for trainer David Hill.

It was perhaps fitting that the Englishman, who moved to Singapore two years ago, should provide the 42-year-old's first winner at Kranji when Legrix nursed STILLETO (6 b.a.m Clang - Wa Wa Nee by Waajib) home to win the Class 5 - 1100m sprint on the fibresand track.

Winner of two races in New Zealand, STILLETO had struggled to find her form since making her debut in February last year. The patient riding of Legrix, however, brought her home for her maiden in 24 starts in Singapore.

Legrix, granted a six-month licence to ride in Singapore, did not have the start to his stint as he would have wanted. A winless debut meeting early this month was followed by a two-day suspension for careless riding. But all that is forgotten today with the breakthrough win.
