Rie's Pet scores gutsy comeback win

PENANG: Mar 8, 2014

Being out of action for two 12-month periods in the last two years has not stopped RIE'S PET from winning again in a Class 4 - 1200m sprint here today.

Right after scoring his second in March 2012, the Australian six-year-old was out of action for a year before coming back in March last year.

After two races that month, RIE'S PET was sidelined again but he returned a winner when he scored a gutsy win, getting home by a nose over the in-form PADDY'S PARK.

It was a hard earned but significant victory for promising apprentice Amirul Ismadi as it was his 10th win.

Eight-year-old Malaysian bred TRIPLE COIN showed that he can still raise a galloper despite his age when he cruised to an easy win in a Class 5 - 1100m handicap. It was his seventh win in 53 starts.
