Border Express rolls to surprise win

KUALA LUMPUR: July 30, 2011

With just a third to show from five starts previously, BORDER EXPRESS (Storm Boot - Justakiss by Mt Livermore) finally pickup up steam to register a huge upset in a Class 5 - 1600m sprint at Sungei Besi here today.

Ridden for the first time by Jose De Souza, the American three-year-old was hard-pressed but prevailed by a head to pay RM886 for a win.

After a somewhat disappointing stint in Singapore during which he managed a win and three placings from eight starts, RAMJET (More Than Ready - Macrosa by Mr McGinty) got his campaign in Malaysia off a flying start when he romped to an easy win in a Class 4 - 1200m handicap.

Partnered for the first time by Oscar Chavez, the four-year-old half-brother to champion sprinter ROCKET MAN was just too good for his rivals, winning by four and a quarter lengths.
