ELLIOT NESS makes it 4 career wins in Singapore – 27th January 2024
Six year old ELLIOT NESS (Written Tycoon – Walk with Attitude) defied the difficulties presented by his outside barrier draw when taking out the Class 4 1100m Polytrack event at Singapore’s Kranji Racecourse 27th January. Ridden by Te Akau Racing Stable Apprentice, Sarwi Jamil, Elliot Ness flew the gates from his wide Barrier and settled in 2nd place behind the leader. Presented at the top of the straight, Jamil bided his time before asking his mount for greater effort, but once he did, his run was inexorable, finishing the race with a one length margin in a time of 1.05.39.

Fortuna Racing’s John Galvin, watching from Ellersie racecourse in New Zealand on Karaka Million Day, was very proud of his charge. “I thought he may have difficulty in this race given his wide barrier draw, but Jamil had him away well, he showed good early speed and got into a great position stalking the leader. He loves this trip and is fashioning a nice record in Singapore. Well done to to Donna Logan and her team for having this horse in such shape.”
