Singapore Training Academy for Racing (STAR) graduate Muhammad Hasri Rahiman has taken just 15 rides to land his first winner when successful on THE HUSTLER (Hussonet - Hasty Bird by Bluebird) in a Class 4 - 1000m sprint on the polytrack at Kranji tonight.

It was the third win in six starts for the half-brother to LIM'S OBJECTIVE but the Australian four-year-old was racing after a let-up due to a bleeding attack when winning last time out.

"I’m so happy I finally rode my first winner," said Hasri on returning to scale. "The horse was in great form and travelled well throughout."

"I don’t have any relatives in racing or know anyone in racing, but people always told me I should become a jockey because I was short. I did a few jobs after I left school and after I finished my National Service, I decided to give it a try."

He is indentured to Shane Baertschiger who also trains THE HUSTLER, a A$80,000 purchase as a yearling.
