Bang-in-form Wiener bags Trophy

KUALA LUMPUR:  Nov 10, 2012

Since his relocation from Singapore, where he picked up one win in eight starts, WIENER (Snitzel - Zsabelle by Zabeel) has been a model of consistency in the Malaysian scene.

The Australian gelding picked up his fourth success of the season when he triumphed in the RM75,000 Dato Sir Clough Thuraisingham Trophy at Sungei Besi here today.

The Class 3 - 1600m handicap was held on memory of the late chairman of the Selangor Turf Club.

It was also the five-year-old's third win in his last four outings and kept jockey Jai Shankar's hope of winning the premiership alive with a double for the day.

Shankar had won the opening event with CHINA TOWN BANK (De Troy - Southern Paradise by Valid Appeal). Despite the gelding's poor recent form, he surprisingly started favourite to record his second win in 18 starts.

Eirwan Khalid, desperately trying to hold on his lead in the premiership in the face of a good recent run of successes by Jose De Souza, booted home a double on KIM DIVA (Theatre - Colour Me Kim by Is It True) and BOY (Istidaad - Validity by Kashani) to bring his tally for the season to 50.

De Souza is five behind after winning on HAPPY AMIGO (Falvelon - Miss Lehaar by Biscay Wonder). Shankar is on 42 wins.
