Apprentice Airy lands first winner

SINGAPORE,  2 March 2007

Mohd Airy, who has limited opportunities thus far, made full use of his ride on BOOMER CAPITAL to score his maiden win in the Class 5 - 1100m sprint on the fibresand track at Kranji tonight.

Indentured to Michael Clements, the 25 year old was engaged by trainer Steven Burridge to take advantage of his 4kg claim and the lad handled the Florida gelding well for a comfortable win.

Meanwhile, Japanese trainer Susumu Nigishi saddled his first winner of the season when SILENCE TOUCH (3 br.j.c Royal Touch - Nishiken Time by Hagino Jamui) romped home an easy winner in the Restricted Maiden - 1200m sprint.

SILENCE TOUCH became the first of ten horses donated by Japanese breeders and auctioned by the Singapore Turf Club last year. He fetched $70,000.
