Rye Joorawon wins Malaysian debut

IPOH:  April 24, 2011
Rye Joorawon returns to scale on SPICE MASTER

After a false start yesterday when he could not make the weight on his sole nominated ride, Rye Joorawon was quickly off the mark in his Malaysian debut here today.

Partnering the Stephen Cook-trained SPICE MASTER (Top Echelon - Vicheno by Blevic), the Mauritian jockey wasted no time in steering the four-year-old to an easy victory in a Class 5 - 1600m handicap.

The top local jockey in Mauritius in 2009 with 23 wins, Joorawon rode a copy book race on SPICE MASTER, sitting the gelding just behind the pace early and timed his run to perfection to win drawing away by two and three-quarter lengths. It was the gelding's second win in 17 starts.

Joorawon, who has also ridden in South Africa, was unplaced in one other ride this afternoon but has no doubt won a lot fans with his showing today.
