Go It Alone finds luck with new name

KUALA LUMPUR:  May 11, 2013

A change of name brought an instant change of luck for GO IT ALONE in the Maiden Handicap over 1200m at Sungei Besi here today, when the Selangor Turf Club held a novelty meeting for their home based horses.

After two unplaced in two runs in Singapore, the four-year-old made the switch up north here to join trainer Richard Lines and change his name from NOPAYNOHAY.

Racing after a four-month break as a result of his move, GO IT ALONE got it right with champion apprentice Yap Kin Yin in the saddle today, winning by half a length.

Two races today were set aside for Sungei Besi based apprentices and both went to Mohd Firdaus Mansor who was successful with KINGSHIP ADMIRAL and ANDREW'S GOLD.

For KINGSHIP ADMIRAL, it was the end of a long lane, finally finding the mark in his 23rd start.

ANDREW'S GOLD showed that there is still racing left in him at nine year, reversing a series of poor runs of late to notch his seventh win in 61 starts.

Firdaus went on to claim a third win when he replaced the indisposed Hanif Mohamad on ADMIRAL NICK.
