Good Nature bags Selangor Gold Cup double

KUALA LUMPUR:  Apr 3, 2011

GOOD NATURE, who caused a mild upset when he captured the Selangor Gold Cup last year, asserted his superiority in the 1600m event again today.

The six-year-old showed a return to form to win over the same course and distance last time out after having finishing unplaced in four consecutive starts.

And with apprentice Jacky Lim partnering him once again, GOOD NATURE (Way Of Light - Tears We Cry by French Deputy) got home by three-quarters of a length from EAGLE with the veteran LIM'S FIGHTER third.

GOOD NATURE was the second big win in a week for Golden Knight Stable and trainer Kevin Coetzee, after having won the MRA Cup over 1400m last Sunday with HOT BUTTERFLY.

Costing just A$10,000 as a yearling, the entire has now chalked up 10 wins in 29 starts and earned more than RM1.4mil in prizemoney.

GOOD NATURE also won the Perak Derby and Piala Emas Sultan Selangor in 2009. He suffered a cut in his near-fore in the Piala Emas Sultan Selangor last June and was spelled for several months. But his last two starts indicated that he is truly back at his best.
