EATONS GOLD wins for the Seventh Time in Singapore

Seven Year Old Gelding EATONS GOLD became Fortuna Syndications most successful horse ever (by wins) when winning in Singapore Sunday 27th April, making it seven career wins and close to S$400,000 of career earnings.

Backing up from a previous win in February, EATONS GOLD was carrying 58kgs, a weight he had not won with previously, but had drawn nicely at barrier and 2 and had Singapore Champion Jockey, Manoel Nunes in the saddle. Away nicely, Nunes settled Eatons Gold in behind the leader, eased him forward before the turn and hit the lead on straightening, refusing to surrender, despite a strong challenge from race favourite, Rich Fortune, going to the line 3/4 of a length clear of his rival.

Trained in Singapore by Champion Trainer, Mark Walker, EATONS GOLD was a $75,000 purchase by David Ellis on behalf of Fortuna at the 201o Karaka Select Sale and is owned by The Fortuna Eatons Gold Syndicate, an ownership group of 27 individuals.

Fortuna Director, John Galvin was naturally very pleased with the outcome. “EATONS GOLD has been a wonderful servant for us in Singapore,” he said, “while not a true top class horse, he hardly ever runs a bad race as his seven wins, seven seconds snd seven thirds and nine fourths from forty eight starts will attest.”
