Murphy reaches century on Sixo
Timmy Murphy achieved 100 winners for the season when partnering Sixo to victory at Chepstow this afternoon.
Sent off the 6-4 favourite and making his debut over fences, the Martin Pipe-trained grey was kept at the rear by Murphy during the opening stages of the Sporting Index Beginners´ Chase.
The pair were travelling nicely down the back straight, and moved into contention lining up for home.
Sixo, who boasted useful hurdling form, was clear at the last, but slightly idled and made a mistake, but had plenty in reserve, running on to score by three lengths from Sonnant.
