Shankar matches best day with four winners

PENANG:  Mar 17, 2013

For the second time this season, jockey Jai Shankar has his best ever meeting when he booted home four winners.

Shankar, who had his best season yet when he finished third behind Eirwan Khalid and Jose De Souza in the jockey's premiership with 49 winners last year, first achieved the feat in Ipoh on Jan 13.

Shankar was off to a flying start when he took the first two races on SYCE CRACKER and CHINESE STREET, two horses he had success with in the past.

Shankar went on to take the main event, the Table 1 - 1600m event on HARRYS PAL and wound up the afternoon with CAPTAIN PENANG, whose only previous win came more than 26 months ago.

Brazilian jockey Jose De Souza also had a fine afternoon with three winners, two of which are trained by Dr Tan Swee Hock who himself also ended up with a treble.
