Visiting South African apprentice Callan Murray rode Strictly Legit to victory in a maiden race at Mornington on Tuesday landing a winner at just his fourth race ride in Australia.

Indentured to South African trainer Mike De Kock, Murray is having a stint in Australia before becoming a fully-fledged jockey.

Last season’s champion apprentice in South Africa, Murray had two rides at Flemington last Saturday, finishing a close second aboard La Speciale.

“I’m really excited to get on the board here,” Murray told broadcasterRacing.com.

“The hospitality has been great from Lindsay Park and I’m really grateful for their support.”

Mikedekockracing.com confirm that Murray booted home his second winner with Barjeel in a Plated race over 1400m yesterday for Sheikh Hamdan’s Shadwell Australasia. Callan commented: “I’ve won in these colours back home, thanks to Sheikh Hamdan and Angus Gold. Racing in Australia is great, I’ve had some good opportunities from Lindsay Park, my part has been easy.”
