The Peter Fahey trained Serefeli gained a fourth career win at Galway today, landing the Caulfield Industrial Handicap to provide jockey Bill Lee with a double on the day.
Serefel’s win moved Lee to the 39 winner mark for the year and the Group 1 winning rider currently trails Jockeys’ Championship leader Colin Keane by 10 wins.
Following the race, a delighted Fahey, who has had eight winners in the past six weeks, said “it's great to come here and win with him - we’re after having a good summer and I'd say a Galway winner is worth the whole lot of them.
“He probably wants a little bit further as he was flat out early on and only came to himself coming down the hill.
“It was a very tight handicap here and he was the right side of the weights. Hopefully he can go on and he'll end up mixing it over hurdles next season. He has a couple of entries but he won't run here again.”
“I’m delighted for the owners, the Howards from Dublin, and Tom Keane, who picked out the horse when we bought him.”
