Putting up a Grand Show after two years

IPOH: Jun 29, 2019

Nine-year-old GRAND SHOW returned to the winner's circle for the first time in 25 months with a narrow victory in the Raphael Gold 1998 Handicap here today.

Ridden by Z Khairil, the son of Red Clubs settled in midfield, switched out for a run at the top of the straight and grabbed the lead 100m out. But LADY LIBERTY came charging home in the closing stages and just failed to catch GRAND SHOW by a head.

It's the 10th win in 89 outings for GRAND SHOW since making his debut on this corresponding weekend in 2013.

Seasoned campaigners had a good after with eight-year-olds SCOTTIE and ORION also victorious and 10-year-old MR EPIC also notching his 10th win in 92 starts.
