Power Of Khan bags Selangor Gold Cup

KUALA LUMPUR:  Apr 8, 2012

POWER OF KHAN capped his phenomenal rise this season with a scintillating performance to win the RM300,000 Selangor Gold Cup over 1600m at Sungei Besi here today.

Trained by Johnny Lim, the five-year-old resumed from a nine-month spell to win twice in Class 3 last month.

Ridden by Andrew John Sundradas today, POWER OF KHAN (General Nediym - Flurry's Gem by Perugino) showed just how much he has improved this season when he defeated last year's joint Sprint Trophy winner and last month's MRA Cup runner-up EAGLE by half-a-length.

The bang-in-form BANKS' GIFT, winner of three of four starts this season, finished third.

POWER OF KHAN, who cost A$80,000 as a yearling at the Melbourne sale, had a win and four fourth finishes in 10 starts in Australia before coming to Malaysia.

He has three consecutive placings before breaking through in Class 4 in June last year but was forced out on the sidelines for nine months. The timeout, as it appears, has turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
