The
Brazilian bred three-year old, Lundy’s Liability, ridden by an
inspired Waichong Marwing, scored a double for South African
trainer Mike De Kock in the US$ 2,000,000 UAE Derby. The
determination of jockey Marwing proved too good on the night as
he drove Lundy’s Liability to a hard fought battle to the line
with Little Jim ridden by Ted Durcan and trained by Satish
Seemar, finishing second. Jerry Bailey’s Petit Paris took a good
third place. Having followed close to the lead group, Marwing’s
mount got up in the final 50 yards to win by three quarters of a
length. De Kock commented after the race, “We thought we would
run very well. He improves with every start. This makes the
South African form look strong.” Jockey Marwing thought, “Things
did not work out in his first two races, but he went like a
dream today. He is so tough and he refused to give in down the
straight.” Goldolphin’s Great Exhibition could only managed
eighth place of nine.
