Golden Partner bounces back with shock win

PENANG:  Aug 27, 2011

GOLDEN PARTNER bounced back after five dismal outings to register a shock victory in the final event in Penang today.

The New Zealand gelding had scored a popular win on the opening day of the season this year, but poor recent form saw him start today's Class 4 - 1200m sprint at RM537.

Ridden by Harmeet Singh Gill for the first time, GOLDEN PARTNER (San Luis - Si Signorina by Senor Pete) easily ran down the front runner in the home stretch to win by two and three-quarter lengths.

It was the third win in 21 starts for the five-year-old who cost just NZ$8,000 as a yearling.

Oscar Chavez had his best day in Malaysia for a while when he booted home a double on POUND (Royal Academy - Lackadaisical by Star Pyramul) and PERFECT PERFORMER (Beckett - Machino by Zabeel).
