Mr Ambassador resumes racing in style

PENANG: Oct 14, 2012

MR AMBASSADOR (Danasinga - Scotch And Water by Lake Coniston) resumed from a four-month let-up and quickly made up for lost time to win the Classes 1 & 2 - 1700m handicap here today.

The New Zealand gelding came with a big reputation of having won one race in his native country and five more in Australia including the Group 3 Randwick City Stakes (2000m).

It took a while for the now seven-year-old to show his true worth since arriving in Malaysia but he is definitely on top of his game now.

Last April, MR AMBASSADOR broke through with an all-the-way victory in the Perak Derby and followed up with a gallant second to SPEED BABY in the Piala Emas Sultan Selangor two months later.

Making his first start since, MR AMBASSADOR was a little rusty but still proved too good for his rivals today.
