Former champion jockey
Saimee Jumaat, who has won titles on both sides of the causeway, returned to
riding in Malaysia in style at Sungesi Besi there today.
Making his first appearance
on Malaysian soil since August 2009, Saimee was an instant hit when he
scored on his first ride on BUENA VISTA (Tayasu Tsuyoshi - Minstrel Show by
Euclase).
It was only the second win
in 15 starts for the Australian gelding who cost just A$8,000 as a yearling.
Saimee then teamed up with
trainer Johnny Lim five races later to win again on POWER OF KHAN (General
Nediym - Flurry's Gem by Perugino) who completed a hat-trick and has now
three wins and three placings in six starts in Malaysia.
Saimee finished the day
with two wins, a second and a third from six rides.
