First Winner for Edward O’Rourke

Tara Madgwick - Monday September 11
The Muswellbrook meeting on Sunday produced the first winner for new Randwick trainer Edward O'Rourke, who took over the stables of Michael Freedman.

FrolicSent out favourite for the 1280 metre maiden at her first start, Sepoy filly Takahashi raced up on the pace and kicked on strongly to the line to win by a short neck.

Edward O'Rourke has a number of promising horses in work including last season's star juvenile filly Frolic.

The Newhaven Park owned filly won the Group II ATC Riesling Stakes and was second in the Golden Slipper when trained by Michael Freedman and transferred to O'Rourke after Freedman elected to try his hand in Hong Kong.
