New and Improved Sure and Fast

Tara Madgwick - Thursday March 5
Leading South Coast trainer Bede Murray had a lot of fun with a horse called Sure and Fast back in the seventies and is having just as much fun with the modern day version who won the $100,000 Provincial Championships Qualifer at Wyong on Thursday.

Sure and Fast A three year-old gelding by Not a Single Doubt, Sure and Fast (pictured Steve Hart) was a good last start second at Rosehill, but soared to new heights when beating older horses to win this lucrative race over 1350 metres by two and a half lengths.

Sure And Fast burst into the Provincial Championships Final at Randwick on April 11 with this performance.

"If he didn't qualify today I wasn't going to try and qualify in any others," Bede Murray said.

"If he didn't qualify I was heading to the Albury Guineas, and that's where he'll still go I feel.

"It will be a nice race to top him off for the finals."

A $60,000 Inglis Classic purchase from the Middlebrook Valley Lodge draft for his trainer, Sure and Fast has won three of nine starts earning over $175,000 in prizemoney.

Sure and Fast is one of two winners from Regal Attraction, who comes from the family of Group I winners A Little Kiss, Rising Romance, Rebel Raider and Able One.
