Rebel Fury wins first-up in Tunku Gold Cup

KUALA LUMPUR:  Feb 12, 2013
REBEL FURY returns to scale with Alan Munro in the saddle

New-kid-on-the-block Shane Edwards has taken Malaysian racing by storm.

The former Perth trainer had a dream start to his career here when his first runner, newcomer MONSILI scored an impressive win here yesterday.

And it got better today when his second runner REBEL FURY, another newcomer, outclassed his rivals to win the RM300,000 Tunku Gold Cup at Sungei Besi where Edwards is now based.

The Australian six-year-old, who won seven races in 22 starts in Australia for Edwards, was always travelling well in the 1200m set-weight event under Epsom Derby winning jockey Alan Munro.

REBEL FURY has the race won a long way out, winning by three and a half lengths ahead of GOOD SIGHT, a last-start second in the Yang Di Pertua Negeri Gold Cup (2200m) in December.

Last year's Tunku Gold Cup winner MIGHTY TRIPLE ACE, who was resuming after a spell, finished third this time.

It was the first big race victory in Malaysia for the new Singapore based rider, who makes occasional visits across the caueway.
