Second treble for Azhar and Coetzee

IPOH:  Jul 18, 2010
Jockey Azhar Ismail and trainer Kevin Coetzee, who combined to bring off a treble yesterday, repeated the feat here today with three popular winners: EASTERN BABY, GOOD SIGHT and SPEED TRAIN.

EASTERN BABY (Al Maher - Savannah by Centaine), a beaten favourite in his debut last May, made amends to win the Class 4 - 1100m sprint over the straight course.

Costing A$120,000 as a yearling, the three-year-old was placed twice in four starts in Perth before coming to Malaysia.

GOOD SIGHT (Lonhro - Bonne Famille by Anabaa), also a beaten favourite in his debut last start after registering three placings in four starts in Perth, trashed his rivals by nine lengths in the Da Ma Cai Stakes (Class 4 - 1400m).

SPEED TRAIN (Gold Mine - Shaayil by Haayil), who won his debut last January, was back in the winner's circle after five outings after a hard-fought victory in the last event.

With the treble today, Azhar is now just four winners behind leading jockey Noel Callow in the chase for the premiership.
