Anak Pujut sets new course record

PENANG:  Mar 10, 2013

ANAK PUJUT, who relocated to Malaysia last year after chalking up two wins at Kranji in 2011, got off the mark in the country in style when he set a new course record for the 1100m here today.

On the back of two minor placings earlier this season, the Australian five-year-old led his rivals on a merry chase before winning as he liked by three and three-quarter lengths.

ANAK PUJUT, now trained by Bonny Ng, clocked 1min 3.70secs for the journey which better the previous best of 1min 3.83secs set by RUSH HOUR in 2011.

Meanwhile, Penang based trainers enjoyed another superb afternoon when they won eight of the nine races on the card.

Since the Penang Turf Club the "incentive bonus" for home based horses to RM20,000, there have been resurgent in the performances of Penang trained horses especially on home ground.

Leading the charge today were Dr Tan Swee Hock, the top trainer in Penang for the past few seasons, and Wee Meng Hua, who relocated to Penang in the middle of last year. Both saddled two winners.
