Balotelli scores runaway win in debut

PENANG: Mar 9, 2014

BALOTELLI showed too much class for his rivals when he scored a runaway win in his debut here today.

Ridden by apprentice Shafrizal Salleh, the New Zealand gelding was quickly out of the gate and led his rivals on a merry chase to win by three and a quarter lengths in the Restricted Maiden - 1300m event.

BALOTELLI is a full brother to DRAGON COMMANDER, who won in his second start in Singapore but unfortunately never ran a place again after that.

BALOTELLI, purchased by his owners for NZ$40,000 at the Ready-To-Run sale, will be hoping for a more successful career.

Meanwhile, JOE CZARINA set a new course record when he coasted home to win the Table 1 set-weight event over 1400m, returning a tme of 1min. 20.6secs. This bettered the previous best time of 1min 21.16secs. set by CIZEN WORLD in 2012.

It was the ninth win 33 starts for JOE CZARINA.
