However, five-time champion jockey Molony finished only fourth when Sam gained his only success. This came at Stratford on February 11, 1954, when Romany took the lead two fences from home and ran on to land the Novices’ Chase (Division 1) by three-quarters of a length, Sam was having his second ride on the five-year-old, trained by Phil Doherty, and kept the mount for the next two starts, which ended in a fall and then a second place at Wincanton on March 28, after which Mick Pumfrey took over in the saddle.
