Enchanted Prince bags Sultan Gold Vase

IPOH,  25 November 2006

ENCHANTED PRINCE, narrowly beaten by LIANG XIN in the RM200,000 Sultan Gold Vase last year, gained sweet revenge when triumphed in the 1100m sprint over the Ipoh straight course here today.

With Leong Yoon Fei back to partner him, the six-year-old chestnut Australian gelding by Piccolo out of the And Behold mare Enchanted Eyes gave a much improved performance this time, winning by half-a-length from ULTIMATE GLAMOUR with LIANG XIN a long third.

Trained by John McGillivray, ENCHANTED PRINCE has now chalked up seven wins from 17 starts, earning RM400,000. A splendid return for the A$35,000 purchase at the Perth Magic Millions Sale.

Leong's best ever meeting just gets better and better. Four winners last Saturday and a treble last Sunday was followed by two more strikes today. After ENCHANTED PRINCE, he went on to score on BUSINESS KING (6 br.a.g Key Business - Fury Princess by Pago Mystery).

SUMMER FIESTA made amends after four disappointing runs this season to complete a grand double RM250,000 Wira Malaysia Cup over 1600m.

The Posen gelding, trained by Evert van Breukelen, had won the richest race for Malaysian breds last year and again romped to an easy win with Oscar Chavez astride.

Meanwhile, Canadian based Japanese jockey Hiroshi Ando, making his maiden appearance in Malaysia, was off the mark in his third ride of the afternoon when successful on OFF GUARD (7 b.nz.g Masterclass - Royal Pageant by Butty).
