Tiger Son finally roars to life

IPOH:  Jan 29, 2011

With just a few days left in the lunar year of the tiger, TIGER SON finally roared to life with his maiden win in the Class 5 - 1800m handicap here today.

The five-year-old had managed just two placings in 24 previous starts, but with in-form apprentice Mohd Yazid in the saddle for the first time and in his first test beyond 1700m today, TIGER SON (Half Hennessy - Koninderie by Monongahela) coasted to an easy win to pay RM90 for a win.

TURF SPEC (Magic Of Money - Bonhomie Gal by Bletchley Park), the most successful Malaysian bred of her class, stretched her record to five wins in 18 starts when she defied top-weight to win the NSF Malaysian Stakes over 1200m.

The five-year-old mare was purchased for RM54,000 the National Premier Sale and brought her earnings to RM325,270 with today's victory.
