A'Isisuhairi strikes thrice in 'home coming'

KUALA LUMPUR:  Aug 4, 2013

Boom apprentice A'Isisuhairi Kassim had a superb 'home coming' at Sungei Besi here today when rode three winners including the feature event, the Carlsberg Cup - 1st Leg, on DARK MATTER.

The Kelantan lad began his career in the saddle on this track when he was a track rider for trainer Peter Tennent before going to New Zealand to start his apprenticeship and learnt the finer art of the trade down under.

A'Isisuhairi returned to the local circuit and decided to continue his career in Singapore.

After riding just one winner last year, the A'Isisuhairi has taken the Singapore scene by storm this season by booting home 42 winners thus far and currently lies fourth in the table.

A'Isisuhairi had just unplaced ride today before winning back-to-back races on BRASH SON and INTER REWARD.

He capped the afternoon with his win on DARK MATTER, a four-time winner at Kranji who also picked up two wins in Dubai last year. But the Australian gelding has not raced again since returning from Dubai in March last year.

Despite his long absence, DARK MATTER started odds-on and A'Isisuhairi handled the gelding confidently to score by one and a half lengths.

A'Isisuhairi finished the afternoon with a record of three wins and three placings from eight rides.
