Trainer Bruce Marsh’s faith in his apprentice jockey Zuriman Zulkifli was repaid manifold when Knight’s Command sprang an upset win in the Group 3 Admiralty Classic Stakes on Sunday.

Trainer Bruce Marsh's faith in his apprentice jockey Zuriman Zulkifli was repaid manifold when Knight's Command sprang an upset win in the Group 3 Admiralty Classic Stakes on Sunday.

The vastly-improved Knight’s Command showed that his last win was no flash in the pan when he took out the $80,000 Royal Western India Turf Club Trophy (1600m), an Open Benchmark 78 race in even more dominant fashion on Sunday.

​If someone had told trainer Bruce Marsh shortly after Street Legal’s first win for him in a lowly Class 5 race over 1800m a year ago that he could be a Singapore Gold Cup contender the following year, he would have probably told that person he did not have all his wits about him.

Trainer Patrick Shaw continued his strong affinity with the Causeway Classic Stakes when he secured a third consecutive win in the 1800m Polytrack race with the vastly-improved Irish-bred gelding Cannon Hill on Friday night.
