Coffeeshop Gossip delivers a double

IPOH: Nov 19, 2011

COFFEESHOP GOSSIP (El Moxie - Manzie De Lago - Encosta De Lago), who broke through for his maiden win in Malaysia last week, completed a double with another easy victory in a Class 4 - 1400m sprint here today.

Ridden again by apprentice Lai Kin Man, the Australian five-year-old revelled in the heavy going to win by six and a quarter lengths.

The gelding had five starts at three in Australia, managing a win over 1600m at Sale and a third over 1400m at Geelong.

FLAMING BOLT (Tale Of The Cat - Willow Brook by Sir Tristram) is another who relished the track condition today, winning by seven and a half lengths in another Class 4 - 1400m handicap.

The Australian gelding, who cost A$120,000 as a yearling, managed just two placings in Australia. He then registered two wins in Singapore in 2009 but poor form after saw him moved to Malaysia.

But it was under the Irishman Thomas Gillespie that FLAMING BOLT regained his form, and has now two wins and a second from his kast three starts.
