Marvel-ous
first-up performance
SINGAPORE:

Danny Murphy might have left our
shores but the Irish trainer still had a hand in first-up winner MARVEL HERO
who triumphed in the Restricted Maiden event over 1400m at Kranji here
tonight.
Murphy purchased the Irish gelding for 10,000 euros at the 2016 Goresbridge
Flat Breeze-Up sale and MARVEL HERO was given a thorough preparation both in
Ireland and in Singapore (since arriving last February) before making in
debut.
Ridden by Matthew Kellady, MARVEL HERO took command on settling down and was
never headed. COUNTRY BOSS made a vain bid in the final 200m and the pair
drew away from the rest.
But MARVEL HERO held on to win by half a length.
"It
was a great effort for him to lead all the way. We weren’t sure how quick he
would be as he’s never been on the grass before, but he showed good gate
speed," said trainer Laurie Laxon.
Murphy had a stint in Singapore in
between two periods in Malaysia, after spending several successful years in
Macau. He was last based in Kuala Lumpur before
returning to Ireland.
