Jockey Bauyrzhan Murzabayev and WESTERN SOLDIER are truly a dream duo. Today, they showed once again what they can do together, when they fended off all attacks in a thrilling finish in a Class 1 handicap over 1,800 metres at Berlin-Hoppegarten. In true fashion, the SOLDIER HOLLOW son displayed his well-known fighting spirit and kept drawing away, despite carrying top weight, and clocking in with a neck advantage to record his fourth consecutive win and seventh overall this year.
WESTERN SOLDIER is a full brother of the champion two-year-old WHISPERING ANGEL and in France Gr.3-placed WANGARI. |
