Callow wins international jockey contest

KUALA LUMPUR:  June 17, 2012

Australian jockey Noel Callow, the man they nickname "King Callow" for his exploits in the MRA circuit, was crowned the winner of the Selangor Turf Club 2012 international jockeys championship after being placed in both the two championship races staged today.

It was history repeating itself as Callow also won the title last year and on the same day won the Piala Emas Sultan Selangor (on RISKY BUSINESS). The Aussie won the same race on SPEED BABY today.

Hironobu Tanabe won the Gold Coast Turf Club Trophy (Class 4 - 1400m) on SINSEVEN, becoming the first Japanese jockey to win on Malaysian soil for many years while Callow finished second on AUSSIE SON.

British jockey Mark Gallagher made a late bid to win the jockeys championship when successful on PINA COLARDA in the Korea Racing Authority Trophy (Class 3 - 1600m) but a third placing by Callow on aptly-named BE SURE made certain of victory for the Aussie jockey who had a win and a second yesterday.

Callow earned a total of 30 points against 28 for Gallagher. Tanabe came third with 19 points after his second placing on GOOD FRIEND in the Korea Racing Authority Trophy.

Callow took home prizes worth a total of RM20,000 and a trophy. Gallagher earned RM5,000 cash and a trophy while the Tanabe picked up RM3,000 cash and a trophy.

The final points tally:

Noel Callow 30
Mark Gallagher 28
Hironobu Tanabe 19
Jackson Low 12
Azhar Ismail 8
Jose De Souza 7
Wayne Smith 5
Saimee Jumaat 5
Kim Gye-Sun 4
Erwin Dubravka 2
