Azhar Ismail bounces back with double

IPOH: Nov 16, 2013

Without a win in the past seven race days, Azhar Ismail bounced back just as his nearest rival was away overseas on assignment to consolidate his lead at the top of the jockey's table.

Jose De Souza, who has been closing the gap (to just three wins) on Azhar in recent weeks, was in Macau to take part in a international jockeys challenge last night.

He is due to fly to Singapore today to ride in the Singapore Gold Cup meeting tomorrow.

Azhar endless his winning run to score on FLASH GORDON, his first ride of the afternoon, and completed a double on RUMPELSTILTSKIN, both trained by Peter Lee.

The double brings his tally to 42 for the season, five clear of De Souza.

Apprentice Joseph See, who rode a winner at Kranji last night, made the journey to Ipoh worthwhile when he landed double on EL JEYA and MIRACLE PRAY for trainer Prakhash Pereira.
