ULTIMATE FIGHTER bounced
back after a run of dismal showings to register a huge upset in the Da Ma
Cai Stakes (Class 4 Banded 48-58) over the 1100m straight course to give
apprentice Chin Chee Seng his maiden success in the saddle.
Since breaking through for
his maiden win last July, ULTIMATE FIGHTER (Simon Snorkel - Wendy Jane by
Beaufort Sea) managed just one placing in six starts.
Partnered by Chin for the
first time today, ULTIMATE FIGHTER came through in a big field of 19 runners
to pay RM189 for a win - the same payout by maiden winner CHINA GREAT (Mull
Of Kintyre - Vanda Miss Joaquim by Dash O'Pleasure) in the opening event.
Meanwhile, Saifudin Ismail
took riding honours with a splendid treble, including a hard-fought victory
on newcomer BINTANG TERANG (Elusive Quality - Nasmah by At Talaq), a winner
of twof of hi 14 starts in Australia, in the Class 3 - 1200m sprint.
