Gillespie saddles first double

KUALA LUMPUR:  Oct 9, 2010

Irishman Thomas Gillespie recorded his first double when he sent out two winners at the Penang meeting being held here today, due to the closure of the racetrack in Penang for extensive repairs.

Gillespie, who recently took over TEXAS (Dolphin Street - Chandrani by Centaine), immediately transformed the five-year-old who showed up for the first time in 20 starts to win a Class 5 - 1600m handicap.

Gillespie, however, had to share honour in the next race when GRAND STREET (Grand Lodge - Bow Street by Rainbow Quest) deadheated with PACIFIC GIFT (Untouchable - Samoa by Hula Chief) to win a Class 4 - 1400m sprint, his first success in 16 starts.

The seven-year-old had, however, won two races in Australia prior to coming to Singapore and later Malaysia . Today's run was his fourth under Gillespie.
