Sportscaster Wins Again In Singapore for Fortuna

Iron horse, SPORTSCASTER, who hardly ever runs a bad race finally rewarded his Ownership Group in taking out his first win in Singapore for 2020, after running a series of minor placings in recent starts. Perfectly ridden by Apprentice Dennis Tan, claiming 4kgs and who was having his first ride in Singapore for the Mark Walker Stable, Sportscaster raced handy to the speed, went to the front with about 400 metres to go, was challenged strongly on the inside briefly by Ningaloo, but fought back strongly to go to the line winning by 1.3 lengths in the end.

“Sportscaster” – Wins again in Singapore 16th August 2020

Fortuna Director, John Galvin, was ecstatic with the result “His best distance is usually 1600m, but he was balloted out at that trip last week, so Trainer Mark Walker, decided to keep him fresh so that he could run at 1200m this week and made the smart decision to use the 4kg claim available to apprentice Dennis Tan – horse and rider delivered for us – a great training effort by Mark and a heady ride by young Dennis”
