Steed’s golden run continues

1 September 2014

Golden Sand Steed continued his admirable winning strike rate in Singapore on Friday night with further success at Kranji.

The WS graduate has now won eight times from 25 appearances with a further 10 minor placings to his credit.

Trained by Mark Walker, the Pins five-year-old showed he had taken improvement from a first-up fourth with a dominant win in class two company. The gelding was a $65,000 Karaka purchase for Te Akau principal David Ellis and is a half-brother to six winners, including Strike The Stars (Gr 3 Gloaming Stakes).

Their dam is the former Group One performer Ambitious and the family of Diademe (Gr 2 Cal Isuzu Stakes).
