FIELDS OF COURAGE IMPRESSES ON DEBUT

Fields Of Courage vindicated the high opinion the stable has of the gelding with an impressive win on debut at Sandown today.

Enjoying a perfect ride from Mark Zahra, Fields of Courage travelled smoothly all the way in the 1300-metre maiden contest and then found a strong turn of foot halfway up the straight to run by the favourite Athanatos and win going away with ears pricked.

It is the first win together for Michael Moroney and Glen Thompson and Thompson said the team has been patient with the $425,000 Australian Easter Yearling Sale purchase.

"He couldn't have been more impressive really,” Glen said. “It was good to finally get him to the races, he's always shown a fair bit at home.

"Mark's done a fair bit on him, he's done his jumpouts last time and this time and he was really keen on him.

"It's good when you get a good jockey on and he gives him a gun ride.”

Immaturity both physically and mentally has delayed Field Of Courage’s debut however, Glen is confident it will be onwards and upwards from here on in.

"It was just immaturity, he had a few little issues last time," he said.”He's a nice horse, we've taken our time with him and hopefully we reap the rewards for it.

"We'll see how he comes through today, but there's definitely no reason we don't think he can keep going, we're very happy with him."
