Yehlaisiang breaks duck under new name

PENANG:  Feb 11, 2012

A change of name has brought the desired result for YEHLAISIANG when he finally broke through for his maiden win in a Class 5 - 1700n handicap here today.

The New Zealand gelding, who cost NZ$42,500 as a weanling, managed just three placings in 14 starts when racing as SAY NO MORE.

Racing under his new name for the first time today, YEHLAISIANG (No Excuse Needed - Sorgente by O'Reilly) proved too good for his rivals when he romped home by three and a quarter lengths and gave trainer Luke Danis his sixth winner of the meeting.

Khalid Eirwan, who rode YEHLAISIANG, went on to complete a double on FIVE CLAWS (Langfuhr - Great Connection by Dayjur) two races later and consolidated his position at the top of the jockey's table with ten wins.
