Countofmontecristo moves to Walker

Top galloper Countofmontecristo (NZ) (Echoes of Heaven) is not with trainer Michael Clements anymore.

The Joe Singh-owned Echoes Of Heaven seven-year-old was transferred on Friday morning to trainer Mark Walker.

Currently the highest rated galloper still in work at Kranji on 115 points (Aramco (Magic Albert) on 118 points is spelling), Countofmontecristo was a beaten favourite at his last start in the Kranji Mile two weeks ago on August 16 when ridden by Clements’ No 1 jockey Louis-Philippe Beuzelin, running third to Aramaayo (Poet’s Voice) after being posted four wide.

All up, under Clements’ care, the Count, as he is often named, has won 10 races, including five features, from 31 starts for close to S$2.1 million in prizemoney.

As many as 17 jockeys have ridden him, with Glen Boss striking the best partnership early doors on five wins, including a four-in-a-row during his champion three-year-old season in 2017.
