Volcanic General too good in Gold Vase

IPOH: Jun 3, 2018

VOLCANIC GENERAL, who went down to INDIAN JADE by head last year, proved too classy this time as a cruised to an easy win in the RM150,000 Perak Gold Vase over the 1100m straight course here today.

Jose De Souza, riding the son of Magnus for the first time, parked the gelding amongst the chasing pack. AUD DOLLAR, who jumped brilliantly, immediately set a brisk pace.

As the leader came under under pressure at the 300m, MR NEVERMIND took over at the 200m with VOLCANIC GENERAL moving up to second spot on the outside rails.

VOLCANIC GENERAL then raced past the leaders with ease to win as he liked.

It was the fourth big win for Australian gelding who captured the Tunku Gold Cup in his Malaysian debut last year and repeated the win early this year.

Last July, VOLCANIC GENERAL also scored a runaway win in the Penang Sprint Trophy.

VOLCANIC GENERAL raced for three seasons in Australia, notching five wins including three at Caulfield before coming to Malaysia.
