Amazing Surprise scores big win

KUALA LUMPUR:  Mar 27, 2911

AMAZING SURPRISE, whose rider was disqualified two years for his handling of the gelding last week, vindicated the action taken by the stewards when he trashed his rivals in the Maiden - 1400m sprint at Sungei Besi here today.

Ridden by Suhairi Sani who replaced the disqualified Marzuki Sani who was charged and disqualified yesterday, the four-year-old outclasses his rivals to win by eight lengths.

It was the first success in 12 starts for AMAZING SURPRISE (King Cugat - Amistosa by Encosta De Lago) who had cost just A$1,500 as a yearling. The gelding returned to racing last month after being sidelined for nine months.

Home based trainers dominated the afternoon's proceedings winning seven of nine races on the card. Leading the charge was Mohd Sukri who saddled three winners: APACHE EAGLE (Markane - Once Upon A Time by St Jude), BANKS' GIFT (Over - Golf Circuit by Groucho) and GRADUATE BOY (Ron Bon - Arak Attack by Protos).
