Macau apprentice hunts down first win

PENANG: Jul 13, 2013

HARDEN UP coasting to an easy win

GHOST STREET staves off the challenge of RISING EMPIRE

Singapore based apprentice Tengku Rehaizat made a dream Malaysian debut when he piloted HARDEN UP to victory in the first heat of the Malaysian 3YO Championship run over 1100m here today.

And the champion apprentice at Kranji last year nearly made it two from two when he finished second in the other heat over 1200m on RISING EMPIRE. Both horses are trained by Wee Mung Hua.

HARDEN UP was resuming after two spells on the sidelines and recently tranferred to Wee after registering one win from four starts in Singapore.

The change of scenery did the trick. HARDEN UP, after tracking the leader till the home turn, took over the running at the top of the straight and went to win by two lengths.

RISING EMPIRE was given every chance by Rehaizat but found GHOST STREET a shade too good, going down by three-quarter of a length.

Rehaizat has two more rides for Wee tomorrow, including KING EMPIRE in the RM500,000 Sprint Trophy.
