Reward for Effort's HK Star Scores of Fun

Media Release - Sunday September 20

Reward For Effort's success in Hong Kong was added to on Sunday Afternoon when Scores Of Fun remained unbeaten thanks to some Moreira magic. 

The John Size trained Scores Of Fun, was badly strung up in the straight and joins Moneymore (Reward For Effort) who is already a winner for David Hayes in the new Hong Kong racing Season.

“I was hopeful I would get through – he’s a promising horse,” Moreira said. “We got held up in the home straight and I had to go for two gaps and the only one that came through was the second one and that proves that he has got heart – he came in between horses and got the job done.”

John Size-trainee settled midfield on the rail and in the home straight had to duck and weave for an opening, which Moreira found at the 200 metre mark between a weakening Inno Legend and Happily Friends.

Scores Of Fun was bred at Dan Neville's Hollylodge Thoroughbreds by Jeremy McGrath and Darren Fradd. The up and coming sprinter is out of Brahms mare Montana Hilton who tested positive to Reward For Effort on September 18.

Closer to home, Reward For Effort has sired a quick fire 23 individual winners since the start of August and is a top 20 Australian sire for earnings and winners this season. Thompson's Reward was his most recent city winner when saluting at Morphettville on Saturday. Congratulations to breeder Tarcoola Stud. - News from Chatswood Stud
