The Hawk soars to another success

KUALA LUMPUR: Mar 12, 2011

THE HAWK made it four consecutive victories with another commanding performance in a Class 4 - 1600m handicap in this special novelty meeting at Sungei Besi here today.

Partnered by apprentice S Mutaza, the five-year-old easily defeated six home based horses to win by one and a quarter lengths.

THE HAWK (Black Hawk - Eliza Park by Scenic) had a late start to his racing career after being picked up by trainer Barry Brogan for A$30,000 as a three-year-old at a Horses In Training Sale.

He made his debut only last October and has started only seven times since.

CABADBARAN (Platinum Scissors - Mother's Help by Christmas Tree), who had finished down the field in four previous starts in Malaysia, created the biggest upset of the season yet in a Class 4 - 1200m sprint.

This is the first day the three Malaysia clubs switched the win and place unit from RM5 per bet to RM10. Cabadbaran paid RM921 for a win.
