RAMJET, who failed to live
up to expectations in Singapore, is making waves in Malaysia after making it
two wins in two starts here in a Class 4 - 1400m sprint today.
A half-brother to dual
international Group 1 winner ROCKET MAN, the Australian gelding cost
A$110,000 at the Horses In Training sale and managed just a win and three placings in eight starts at Kranji.
But after a injury-plagued
2010 during which he started only three times, RAMJET (More Than Ready - Macrosa by Mr McGinty) crossed the causeway to join trainer John Brink.
The five-year-old created a
good impression in his Malaysia debut when he scored a runaway win over
1200m last July. But
he had to work overtime for his victory today when ridden by
the second consecutive start by Oscar Chavez. He won by a nose and then had
to survive an objection by the rider of the runner-up to confirm his win.
