Home sweet home for Black Genius

PENANG:  Oct 8, 2011
BLACK GENIUS

BLACK GENIUS was back in the winner's circle at his favourite track with a hard-fought victory in a Class 4 - 1200m sprint here today.

Since making his debut in February 2009, the American gelding has tasted success only on his home track in Penang. But after two back-to-back wins in 2009, it took him another 26 months before he greeted the judges again last July when he won the Linneys Jewellery Trophy (Class 4 - 1200m) in Penang.

Five runs later, BLACK GENIUS (Speed Jaro - Frosty Lady Who by Ice Age) showed his liking for the track again today, winning by a short head in a thrilling finish.

New trainer Wee Meng Hua saddled his second winner in three days when KIM STAR (Theatre - Kim Paula by Bletchley Park) broke through for her maiden win in the Maiden - 1200m handicap.

The mare had found one to beat in her maiden run under Wee last week.
