Nunes captures Listed race on first day in Australia
The Straits Times
|October 14, 2024
Manoel Nunes has made a flying start to his new Australian riding career, booting home a double at Murray Bridge on Oct 12.
The five-time Singapore champion jockey actually replicated the same result he achieved at a one-day scouting visit he paid to the same South Australian racecourse on Aug 3.
Interestingly, Maracourt was the supplier of one win on both days, the second one even coming in the Listed Murray Bridge Gold Cup (1,600m) for good measure.
