New trainer Kumaran saddles first winners

KUALA LUMPUR,  4 Oct 2009
 

Newly licenced trainer PS Kumaran, who made his debut two months ago, saddled his first winner with VODKA N ICE in a Class 5 - 1200m sprint at Sungei Besi here today.

Two races later, he celebrated the breakthrough with another success with AROWANA PRINCE.

Kumaran had recently taken over VODKA N ICE (Kenfair - Insecta by Steel Pulse) and he immediately brought the six-year-old back to form to register the gelding's second win in 26 starts.

AROWANA PRINCE (Seignorial - Royal Avenue by Carry A Smile), recently sold to a new owner, was also racing for the first time under Kumaran. For the six-year-old, it was his fourth win in 37 starts.

Champion jockey Azhar Ismail marked his return to racing from injury when he partnered SPEEDY WIND (Dash For Cash - Tulipano by Centaine) to win the last event today.
