First Australian Winner for Maurice

Tara Madgwick - Thursday January 14

Arrowfield Stud’s Japanese shuttle sire Maurice (Jpn) became the latest first season sire to post his first Australian winner with a debut victory at Eagle Farm on Thursday for promising gelding Balmaurice.

The Rex Lipp trained juvenile was friendless with punters, but dominated his rivals to win by more than two lengths in a commanding performance.
