Soldier Of Fortune Mare Makes All To Maiden Victory

Like Ta Ma (5m Soldier Of Fortune - Burnt Oil Babe, by Beneficial) made all to gain a maiden victory at Rathcannon on Sunday.

The William Murphy owned and trained mare was reunited with regular rider Pa King on her seasonal return and boasted a clear advantage four from home. Challenged at the second last, she produced a fine leap at the final fence and kept on well to deny Finding Fame (Fame And Glory) by a head. The pair finished clear of the field.

The daughter of Soldier Of Fortune was bred by Mr D. O’Sullivan.
