Spectacular upset by Si Bravo

IPOH:  Sept 22, 2012

SI BRAVO (Orpen - Florida Gal by Tolomeo), who returned to form last time out to win in Class 5, scored the second biggest upset of the season when he defied a promotion to win a Class 4 - 1100m sprint over the straight course here today.

Partnered by Lou Ho, the eight-year-old won by half a length to pay RM970 for win, second only to the RM1,022 payout by THARA on May 5 in Penang.

Heavy overnight and early morning rain rendered the track 'heavy' and five of the eight winners paid three-figure dividend.

First-time winners BALE (Nadeem - Sacred Hill by Langfuhr) and BANCHORY (Rakti - Hafla by At Talaq) paid RM312 and RM132 respectively.

TOUCH LUCK (Fusaichi Pegasus - Yellow And Black by Western Symphony) returned to form after 29 months to pay RM124.

MERSING (Distant Music - Mrs Krause by Grosvenor) sprang back to form after three runs to pay RM256.
