HADEER, the six year old gelding by Savabeel out of A Real Princess, dominated the Feature race on the programme, the Class 3 1200m, making it three wins in a row for this talented galloper. Ridden once again by Te Akau apprentice Jerlyn Seow, Singapore’s only female rider, he had drawn the ace barrier – Jerlyn got him away well and held the rail, although he wasn’t given any peace in the run by My Dreamliner, who was determined to take him on. Turning for home however, Jerlyn kicked HADEER clear and he was never threatened in the run home, going to the line with a 3 length margin

Fortuna director John Galvin, watching from his New Zealand home was very satisfied after watching the resounding victory “Big test for this horse today going to Class 3 for the first time and he didn’t get a lot of peace in the run, but once again, he showed his class and was way too good. Well done to Mark Walker and a lovely ride again by Jerlyn, she really has this horse humming.”
HADEER was a winner in Australia at Pakenham in August of 2019 for his owners at the time, Shadwell Stud.
