Divine Power gives Jones first win

PENANG:  Feb 2, 2013
 

After several months of trying, Kiwi trainer Stephen Jones finally saddled his first winner in Malaysia when he sent out DIVINE POWER to victory in the final event here today.

Jones made his local bow last September and managed four minor placings with 24 runners last year.

DIVINE POWER was his fourth runner this season and only entry for the day. The former Singapore galloper made the switch up north after just a win and a second in 15 starts at Kranji and was making his fourth appearance for Jones.

Ridden by Eirwan Khalid, the Australian four-year-old followed up on two encouraging recent runs to win by three lengths, providing the champion jockey with a winning ride on his first day back after serving a suspension.
