HUNII, one of the most improved horses in
training, had a dream debut in the classics when he carved out a fighting
win in the RM1 million Astro Wah Lai Toi Sprint Trophy over 1,400m here
today.
Only three starts back, the five-year-old black/brown Australian gelding by Clay Hero out of the Osmunda mare Arvada Miss was still racing in Class 2. After winning his last start in April, the Marinis van Breukelen-trained HUNII was given a let-up and resumed in superb condition today, beating Piala Emas Sultan Selangor winner FLYING DIAMOND and twice Pesta Pulau Cup winner EASY JOGGER. HUNII, who cost only A$18,000 as a yearling, has now won six of his 12 starts. The victory was a grand send-off present for jockey Oscar Chavez, who leaves on Tuesday with Benny Woodworth for a three-month stint in Macau.
