Singapore discard IWA
ANTILIA, who is already the galloper with the most number of wins in
Malaysia this season, added one more to his name when he captured the Table
1 set-weight event over 1400m here today.
Ridden by Azhar Ismail, the
Japanese gelding was tucked behind the leader early but took over the
running at the top of the straight. He then held off the challenge of APRIL
RAIN to win by half a length.
In winning his seventh and
biggest win of the season, the Japanese gelding also recorded his second
hat-trick of the year.
IWA ANTILIA managed two
wins in 16 starts in Singapore before being sold to Malaysia in the middle
of last year.
Under trainer Nor Azman,
the gelding took a while before finding the mark but once he broke through,
there has been no looking back.
