60 kg was not enough to stop Bede Murrray’s stable star Sure and Fast overpowering promising Godolphin three year-old Holler to win at his first run back from a spell at Rosehill on Wednesday.

The flashy chestnut by Not a Single Doubt proved way too good when it mattered, charging to the line for Josh Parr to beat the three year-old and short priced favourite Holler by a length.

"He still has some maturing to do,” said Murray, who is planning a low key spring campaign with a view to bigger goals in 2016.

"I will see how he pulls up and he might have another one or two this time in.

"In the back of my mind I think he’s a Stradbroke horse.”

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 Final back in April and has now won five of 14 starts earning over $440,000 in prizemoney.

A $60,000 Inglis Classic purchase from the Middlebrook Valley Lodge draft for his trainer, 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.
