Lines sets his sight on another title

KUALA LUMPUR:  Mar 11, 2012

After a slow start to the new season, trainer Richard Lines is regaining the sort of momentum that brought him the title for the first time last year.

With four winners from the first five races today, the Englishman now leads the table for the first time this season with 15 winners.

SHARP SHOOTER (Pacific Prince - Citidelight by Citidancer) continued a good run of results for Malaysian breds in open company this season when he broke through for his maiden win the opening event.

GOLD STAR PRINCESS (Elusive City - Clarice Orsini by Common Grounds), a winner of two races in England, scored her first win in Malaysia to give Lines his fourth winner of the afternoon.

The shock of the day came in the Class 3 - 1400m handicap when last start winner NEW POWER (My Halo - Zingla by Danasinga) was unfancied in the betting but came through to chalk up his sixth win in 25 starts and paid RM322 for a win.
