K-Pop sets new course record

IPOH:  May 25, 2013
K-Pop

K-POP, who became the first Korean bred to win a race on the local circuit three weeks ago, was again in the limelight when he trashed his rivals in the Class 4 - 1400m handicap here today.

In winning by four lengths to follow up on his last start success, the four-year-old set a new course over the short course with a time of 1 min. 21.1 secs., beating the old mark of 1min. 21.25 secs. set by HARRYS PAL earlier this year.

Trained by Peter Lee, K-POP was again ridden by up-and-coming apprentice Amirul Ismadi and the gelding now has two wins and a second from six starts since landing unraced from Korea in late 2011.

K-POP is by an imported stallion out of a mare who won nine races in Korea.
