Shankar wins Malaysian jockey's title

PENANG:  Dec 29, 2013
 
BIG ROCK clearing away from FORGIVEN to win the Scenic
Lodge Trophy

Jai Shankar rode into the history books when he booted home three winners in quick succession to become the first Indian jockey to win the jockey's premiership on the local circuit.

Starting the day one win behind former champion Azhar Ismail, Shankar found the mark on BIG TSUNAMI, CRAZY CLUB and BIG ROCK - all trained by Shane Edwards - to take the title with 52 winners.

Shankar's previous best season was last year when he finished third to Eirwan Khalid with 49 winners.

BIG TSUNAMI scored his maiden win after being placed twice in his last three starts.

CRAZY CLUB, a two-time winner earlier this year, was a runaway winner after finding one to be beat in his last three outings.

BIG ROCK easily captured the Scenic Lodge Trophy to record his fourth win in 30 starts, his second after coming under Edwards last April.
