Ultimate Fighter gives Chin maiden success

IPOH, April 17, 2010

ULTIMATE FIGHTER bounced back after a run of dismal showings to register a huge upset in the Da Ma Cai Stakes (Class 4 Banded 48-58) over the 1100m straight course to give apprentice Chin Chee Seng his maiden success in the saddle.

Since breaking through for his maiden win last July, ULTIMATE FIGHTER (Simon Snorkel - Wendy Jane by Beaufort Sea) managed just one placing in six starts.

Partnered by Chin for the first time today, ULTIMATE FIGHTER came through in a big field of 19 runners to pay RM189 for a win - the same payout by maiden winner CHINA GREAT (Mull Of Kintyre - Vanda Miss Joaquim by Dash O'Pleasure) in the opening event.

Meanwhile, Saifudin Ismail took riding honours with a splendid treble, including a hard-fought victory on newcomer BINTANG TERANG (Elusive Quality - Nasmah by At Talaq), a winner of twof of hi 14 starts in Australia, in the Class 3 - 1200m sprint.
