Speed Baby too strong in
Coronation Cup IPOH: Nov
25, 2012 |
|
SPEED BABY joined
CONFLUENCE and GOLDEN ACE as the only two-time winners of the RM700,000
Coronation Cup when he won the 1600m contest here today.
After winning the classic
in 2010, the Australian gelding was sent to Singapore to race and managed to
win the Group 1 Patrons' Bowl in his third start at Kranji.
But he failed to reproduce
that form again in Singapore but his then trainer Steven Burridge decided to
enter him anyway for the Piala Emas Sultan Selangor, cross-border event at
Sungei Besi last June, which he promptly won with ease.
His connections then
brought him back to Malaysia to continue his racing under his former trainer
Kevin Coetzee.
That decision paid off
again when, ridden by Azhar Ismail, the six-year-old cruise to another easy
win despite a five-month break.
