Visiting Melbourne jockey Beau
Mertens, 21, ended his two-day stint with a win astride MOLINEUX in the
Class 4 - 1600m handicap at Kranji here today.
The son of former jockey Peter Mertens settled the son of Savabeel in the
rear bunch before working his way to the front in the home stretch to win by
1 1/2 lengths.
It was the maiden win six starts for MOLINEUX who was purchased by his
connections for NZ$125,000 as a yearling.
"I'm pretty rapt I got my first winner in Singapore today," said Mertens who
was second to Craig Williams in the Melbourne premiership in the 2016/17
season while still an apprentice. "I was just learning my way around on
Friday, and came close a couple of times."
Mertens, however, will have to serve a two-day suspension after being
charged for careless riding on AUTUMN RUSH in a later race.
