Tom Marquand popular down under

Quote

Punters certainly haven't missed Tom Marquand's first ride on Day 2 of The Championships, backing Azaly from $8.50 into $4.60.

The Hayes, Hayes and Dabernig-trained colt finished third in a Kilmore maiden on debut before crossing the line with the promising Ole Kirk in a 1050m trial at Randwick on March 27.

The son of Dundeel steps up sharply to the mile, taking on last-start winner Postcode and the G3-placed Untamed. 

 

Marquand - a favourite with Australian punters - will pilot another well-backed runner in race two, with Indy Car supported from $13 into $7.

Indy Car was a brilliant winner over 1100m on resumption, motoring home from last at the 300m to prevail in a blanket finish.
