Champion jockey off the mark in new season

IPOH:  Jan 7, 2012

After drawing a blank on the first weekend of the 2012 season last weekend, champion Jackson Low was off the mark in the new season when he booted home SPEED KNIGHT in a Class 5 - 1400m handicap here today.

Low, who won the premiership for the first time with 65 winners last year, settled SPEED KNIGHT (Jetball - Almighty Sister by Amen Brother) just behind pacesetter GLUTINOUS KID, and mastered the leader after a tussle to win by half-a-length.

Meanwhile, veteran trainer Leong Poh Keong stole the limelight with a treble today, winning the first two races with NORTH TO ALASKA (Ishiguru - Charismatic by Al Hareb) and JOYFUL (Howbaddouwantit - Maplewood by Oregon).

The former jockey picked up his third for the afternoon when ACTUARIAL TALENT (Zerpour - Hunter Tylo by Stark South) made it back-to-back wins in a Class 4 - 1600m handicap.
