Aussie trainer a winner in 4 countries after breaking duck in Malaysia with Fortune Star

- Michael Lee

DEAN STARS WITH FIRST IPOH WIN

Brian Dean said that, with a bit of luck, he could have already opened his Malaysian account one week before Ipoh's meeting on Jan 11.

The Australian trainer was still rapt Fortune Star broke the duck for him relatively early into his new venture, but, without being too picky, said the same horse could have turned provider even earlier.

"Fortune Star should have won at his last start. He was gone too soon on the long course," said Dean.

"But I can't complain. He's won today, and I've now had a winner in four different countries, which isn't too bad, I reckon."

Before his current Malaysian stint, which started in December, the Bendigo man had plied his trade with success in Australia as a jockey, Singapore - where he prepared the bulk of his winners (438) - and South Korea (28) as a trainer.
