Milestones for connections of Hungarian

KUALA LUMPUR,  February 14, 2010

HUNGARIAN broke through for his maiden win in the Novice - 1200m sprint at Sungei Besi here today to provide his connections with significant milestones.

Unplaced in six starts in Singapore, Brazilian bred HUNGARIAN (Ghadeer - Budapeste by Roi Normand) was quickly transformed to winning material by Sri Lankan trainer Adityan Selvaratnam who was formerly based in the UAE.

It was his first winner since relocating to Malaysia late last year and his sixth runner on the local circuit.

HUNGARIAN was only recently sold to Farooq Racing Stable who have provided Selvaratnam with the bulk of horses in his transfer to Malaysia.

Completing the cast today was Macau based Brazilian jockey Fausto Durso who is riding as a guest jockey for the first time in Malaysia.

Given his recent form in Singapore, HUNGARIAN was neglected in the betting and paid RM221 for a win.

It may be the year of the Tiger, but it was SKY DRAGON BIRD (Blackfriars - Caitie-Eb by Dalmacia) who soared to the first win of the lunar new year with a hard-fought win in the opening event today.
