Exfortythree breaks maiden in style

*Article by John Curtis for hawkesburyraceclub.com.au

Exfortythree ($3.50) justified his strong backing by outclassing his opposition on debut in the Midway Maiden Plate (1000m).

Ridden by leading apprentice Mollie Fitzgerald, Exfortythree romped home, with seemingly plenty in reserve, by nearly three and a half lengths from Zousari ($19) and Muscle Beach ($5.50).

Cummings’ father Anthony purchased the four-year-old son of Magnia Grecia for $200,000 at the 2023 Inglis Classic yearling sale.

Exfortythree was triple Group 1 winning trainer Ed Cummings’ 67th career victory – and, all going well, there are surely more to come with this gelding.
