NO RESPITE (Bel Esprit - Steely Dancer by  Danehill Dander) upset the apple cart when he defeated the heavily-backed stable-mate AL'S KNIGHT to win the Pan Malaysian Pools Trophy for Class 3 horses over 1200m on the polytrack at Kranji here today.

After a run of four unbeaten runs last year, AL'S KNIGHT went on to record three seconds and two fourths from five outings and was sent out odds-on today.

But NO RESPITE, enjoying a 5.5kg pull in the handicap, proved too strong, coming from last at he home turn to win drawing away by one and a half lengths.

NO RESPITE won twice last year but has not tasted success since his last win 11 months ago.

It was the second trophy win of the day for trainer Shane Baertschiger who also saddled MR EPIC (Falkirk - Marzeri by Marju) to victory in the Penang Turf Club Trophy.

The Perak and Selangor Turf Clubs also have a race in their honour today.
