Hong Kong Winner Sold by Three Bridges

Scoring stylishly at his first run for the new season in Hong Kong at Happy Valley on Wednesday evening was Sichuan Dar (former handy Australian galloper Affirmation) , a $50,000 Inglis Classic purchase from the Three Bridges draft for McEvoy Mitchell Racing.

 

He won twice in Australia for the McEvoy stable as Affirmation at Morphettville and Caulfield and was Group III placed in the MRC Manfred Stakes before being sold to Hong Kong where he is now trained by Caspar Fownes.

He won at his final run at Happy Valley last season and has returned in similar form to win by half a length over 1650 metres.

Bred by Bell View Park and sold as agent by Three Bridges, Sichuan Dar is by Not a Single Doubt from Apocrypha, a daughter of Group I VRC Oaks winner Tributes.
