Mr Crowe and Ellis unite for first win

KUALA LUMPUR: Jan 19, 2019

Shane Ellis was assistant trainer to Laurie Laxon in Singapore when MR CROWE picked up five wins in 23 starts for the champion trainer.

Ellis became assistant to Lee Freedman when Laxon returned to New Zealand but left last year to set up his own stables in Malaysia.

MR CROWE had six unplaced starts for Freedman before moving across the causeway to join Ellis.

After three unplaced runs under Ellis, MR CROWE returned to winning ways to win the Class 3 - 1300m handicap at Sungei Besi here today.

It was a joyous moment for both horse and trainer especially after 17 months had passed since the gelding's last win. It was also Ellis's first winner of the 2019 season.
