Wiseman scores popular maiden victory

KUALA LUMPUR,  Jun 5, 2010

After three consecutive placings, WISEMAN came into his own with a convincing victory in the Restricted Maiden - 1200m sprint at Sungei Besi here today.

The three-year-old was backed as if he could not lose against his nine rivals today, especially since his last rider was disqualified 12 months for his handling of the gelding last time out.

With Jackson Low astride, WISEMAN (Monolith - Garnett Court by Pompeii Court) never gave his backers an anxious moment as he ran out a comfortable two-length winner.

There was a sensation in Race 2 when the winner TOUESSROCK, ridden by Aaron Austin, lost the race in the Stewards' room after a protest by the rider of the second horse AMARO UNO (Festival Hall - Jeune Edition by Jeune) was upheld.

TOUESSROCK was relegated to second and Austin was suspended three days for careless riding.

Apprentice S Thai Yang landed his first win of the season when he piloted GRADUATE BOY (Ron Bon - Arak Attack by Protos) to victory in the Class 3 - 1200m handicap. It was the first win in 15 months for the seven-year-old who was also successful twice in 2006.
