Spectacular upsets by golden oldies

PENANG:  Aug 11, 2012

DUSKY MAIDEN (Bertolini - Extra by Prince Salieri) kicked off in what turned out to be a day of upsets and huge dividends with a comeback victory in the opening race here today.

The former three-time winner at Kranji picked up two wins over the Ipoh 1100m straight course early last year after relocating to Malaysia.

But without a win for 15 months, the now eight-year-old, ridden by Jai Shankar, surprised punters when she showed her rivals a clean pair of heels, leading all the way to win by three and a half lengths and paid RM347 for a win.

Another seasoned campaigner, nine-year-old GOLDEN MIGHT (Danachenka - Prepose by Our Horizon) also sprang a surprise after winless more than 12 months to win a Class 4 - 1100m sprint and paid RM240 for a win.
