Sullivan lands first win in Malaysia

KUALA LUMPUR:  Dec 13, 2014

Irish jockey James Sullivan booted home his first winner in Malaysia when successful astride STRALETA in the SLTC Beauty Beyond Boundaries Trophy at Sungei Besi here today.

The 1400m sprint for fillies and mares was staged to mark the annual Ladies Day meeting at the club and STRALETA started odds-on favourite in the eight-horse field.

Sullivan and fellow Irishman Kieran O'Neill have been in the country for a couple of weeks now with the latter having scored his first winner two weeks ago on DEVIL'S CUT.

STRALETA, who won two races in Australia for trainer Shane Edwards, has now picked up three more wins in Malaysia for the Aussie after he relocated here.

Sullivan began his apprenticeship in Ireland but it was after he moved to England that his career really took off, finishing second in the apprentice table in 2010.

Perhaps it was appropriate that on Ladies Day, it was another mare SISTER IN LAW who won the main event of the day, the RM150,000 Chairman Guineas Trophy over 1600m. It was the fifth win in 15 starts for the Irish four-year-old.
