COLIN THE FIRTH (All Bar
One - Orchis by Octagonal) put in yet another superb performance to claim
the revived Malaysia 3YO Championship which this year is organised and
funded by the three Malaysian clubs themselves.
The 2012, which saw a total
of RM780,000 in prizemoney being dished out in a series of qualifying races
in Penang, Ipoh and Kuala Lumpur, ended with the RM200,000 championship
final being staged over 1400m here today.
COLIN THE FIRTH, who came
out from a four-month let-up to win by five and a half lengths at Sungei
Besi on May 6, follow up on that form to win by one and a quarter lengths
with Eirwan Khalid in the saddle.
Trained by John Brink, the
Australian gelding has now won five times in seven starts and picked up mroe
than RM300,000 in prizemoney, not bad for a horse who was purchased by his
owners for just A$12,500 at the horses in training sale.
