SPORTSCASTER wins in Singapore for Fortuna – 15th September

Members of the Fortuna Sportsman Syndicate were celebrating again today when SPORTSCASTER, one of two horses raced in Singapore by the Syndicate, dominated in the Class Five 1700 metre event on the Polytrack, winning by 5 lengths. Just three weeks ago, the other Syndicate horse, SPOKESMAN, broke through for his first win in Singapore, with a winning margin of 6 lengths. Sent out a very warm favourite by Punters, SPORTSCASTER drew Barrier 4 and had Singapore’s leading jockey, Vlad Duric aboard. Duric rode the horse positively out of the gates, soon had the lead, gave the horse a breather during the middle stages, then turned up the wick on the opposition from about the 650 metre mark and they had no answer. Well clear on the turn, Duric kept SPORTSCASTER going strong to the line 5 lengths clear of the opposition, much to the joy of Syndicate Members.

Fortuna Director John Galvin was a happy man post race, “We acquired both horses in a private sale in January. Sportscaster then had a few runs for us, but showed little form, so we gave him a freshen up during May and since his return, he has now had eight race day starts, never out of the prize money in the first seven and today he gets a well deserved win. Congrats to Trainer Mark Walker and Jockey Vlad Duric”
