New trainer Jackman saddles first winner

KUALA LUMPUR: May 30, 2015

Troy Jackman, who was granted his trainer's licence last month, saddled his first winner when WHAT'S DAT cruised to victory in a Class 4 - 1400m handicap at Sungei Besi here today.

The former Singapore galloper, who was having his first start in Malaysia and piloted by champion jockey Jose De Souza, made all the running and romped home by five and a half lengths.

WHAT'S DAT is Jackman's 18th runner and the victory nearly did not materialise.

The start pf the race was delayed for ive minutes as WHAT’S DATE had cast its off-fore plate and proved difficult to be reshod. The gelding was checked by the club veterinary surgeon and was passed fit to race.

WHAT'S DAT was originally purchased by Hong Kong Jockey Club for A$200,000 as a yearling but ended up in Singapore where he won his debut in March 2013 but managed just one more win in 19 more starts before crossing over to Malaysia.

Jackman is a former top Perth rider who won two two Perth Cups and one Adelaide Cup and has ridden successfully in Mauritius (where he won the Gold Cup in 1997), Malaysia, Singapore and India.

Jackman became assistant trainer to Peter Fell in March last year before setting up his own stables.
