Declan Maher set to build on good Queensland start

Sports fanatic Declan Maher hasn’t taken long to get off the mark in his new home state of Queensland and he is hopeful of scoring more runs at Doomben on Wednesday.

Maher has been based on the Gold Coast for only four months and wasted no time landing his first win with his fifth starter in his adopted state when War Drama won at the Sunshine Coast in late July.

The younger sibling of champion trainer Ciaron Maher, Declan was back in the winner’s stall when Perhaps Perhaps gave him his first city winner since shifting north at Doomben last month.

Maher decided to move north to relaunch his own training career after a long stint as stable foreman at his brother’s Ballarat stables in Victoria.
