Suspect shocks punters with RM684 payout

PENANG:  Mar 24, 2012

SUSPECT, who was in the winner's circle just two starts back, was allowed to start at long odds in a Class 5 - 1400m handicap here today.

In fact, the Australian six-year-old was only one of three horses in the 14-horse field who had a win in their last six outings.

Trained by Tan Soo Beng and ridden by stable apprentice Yap Kin Yin, SUSPECT (General Nediym - Wandane by Danehill) coasted to a two-length win to pay RM684 for a win.

It was the third win in 27 starts in Malaysia for the gelding who had cost A$150,000 as a yearling. He had managed a win from eight starts in Australia before coming over here.

For Yap, the win was a morale booster as it was his second success of the season. The apprentice had been issued only a six-month licence until June 30 after failing to land a winner from 15 rides last year.
