Vincent's Star promises a bright future

IPOH: May 19, 2024

After an unplaced debut last month, VINCENT'S STAR quickly showed his potential with a runaway win in the Class 4 - 1100 sprint over the straight course here today.

The Epaulette gelding cost A$90,000 as a yearling and won two of his five starts as a three-year-old in South Australia.

Ridden today by Tham Kin Chong, VINCENT'S STAR was racing amongst the leaders in a line early. He took the lead coming to the course proper and in the final 200m, just cleared away from his rivals to win by three and a half lengths.

It's the second win for trainer Ismadi Ismail since moving back to his former vase Ipoh.

The other Class 4 race today, over 1300m, was won by STRONG N POWERFUL.

It was the second success in Malaysia for the former four-time Singapore winner.
