Peoples Champ Wins AGRA’s January Run Of The Month
AGRA’s Run of the Month for January 2009 has been awarded to South Australian star sprinter the ever popular Scull Murphy for his brilliant performance in the South Australian Interstate Challenge on January 8th 2009.
The Bob Isaacson owned and trained sprinter has been a grand performer for some time particularly in his home state on his favourite track Angle Park. It was his 30th win over the 515 metres, and although an easy $6.50 in the betting he was in great form after two FFA wins on the trot.
Showing some extraordinary early speed he lead to the first turn and was never headed.
Sections were also a fast 4.44 and 16.91 and a quick over all time of 29.62 but most importantly was the beaten brigade the “Scull” had been the giant killer leaving super star sprinter El Galo in his wake six and half lengths in arrears no match for the Angle Park specialist on the night in question.
El Galo was to have his revenge two weeks later
