Bright future seen for Felaar

Stephen Marsh has tipped the Ekraar four-year-old Felaar as a horse to follow.

“He’ll be a lot better when he gets over more ground, he’s a big-striding horse and I think he’s pretty serious,” the Cambridge trainer said.

Those comments came after Felaar had come from the tail of the field to break his maiden in the Dunstan Feeds 1600m at Ellerslie on Friday.

“I was thinking the worst for a while, he was caught three wide at the back and couldn’t get in, but he won like a good thing,” Marsh said. “There’s a race coming up over 2100m at Trentham so we might take him down there.”
