Change of luck for trainer V Nathan

PENANG,  24 Jan 2010

P Visuanathan (V Nathan) who has been issued only a two-month licence until the end of February after saddling just two winners last year and only one the year before, received a much needed boost when he recorded his first win of the season with BAJA KING.

The American entire, winless last year after chalking up two wins in 2008, caused a big surprise when he won comfortably in a Band 39-49 race over 1100m.

Newcomer STREETWING (Street Cry - Shining Banquet by Shining Finish) adapted well to the soft track to make his mark in another Band 39-49 event.

Championship jockey Benny Woodworth, who notched up his first win of the new season on GOLD LION yesterday, followed it up with a double on AMARO UNO (Festival Hall - Jeune Edition by Jeune) and DESTINY'S DAY (Montjeu - Jewel Of Roses by Carry The Crown).
