Hatta goes places with Stakes win

KUALA LUMPUR: Feb 10, 2019

HATTA, who resurrected his career in great style in Malaysia last year, resumed after a six-month break to easily win the Safar Gemilang Stakes at Sungei Besi here today.

Ridden by Ruzaini Supien, the Australian gelding was well up with the pace early in the Class 3 - 1200m handicap which was run in heavy rain. But the five-year-old got going only in the final 200m when he surged to the front and won drawing away by 2 1/2 lengths.

It was his fourth win in six starts since moving to Malaysia after 16 months on the sidelines.

HATTA had raced five times in Singapore for a win and a second but went amiss and ended up being transferred to Malaysia.

Five of today's races were sponsored by Safar Gemilang Sdn Bhd, an IT engineering service provider.
