Good Sight on focus in Piala Emas

KUALA LUMPUR:  Jun 16, 2013

GOOD SIGHT ended an exasperating run of minor placings in the big race when he captured the RM500,000 Piala Emas Sultan Selangor over 2000m at Sungei Besi here today.

Partnered by Noel 'King' Callow, the Australian six-year-old proved too strong for the Perak Derby winner LITTLEBITOFJOY, the mount of Joao Moreira, winning by two lengths and a quarter.

With the win, Callow completed a hat-trick in the set-weight event, having scored on RISKY BUSINESS in 2011 and SPEED BABY last year, both horses trained in Singapore.

This year, there was no runner from across the causeway but GOOD SIGHT proved that he deserved the win, having been placed in the Yang Di Pertua Negeri Gold Cup, Tunku Gold Cup, MRA Cup, Selangor Gold Cup and Perak Derby in the run-up to today's event.

The gelding first came into the spotlight when second to MR RAFFLES in the Sprint Trophy in Penang last July.

Purchased by his owners for A$60,000 as a yearling, GOOD SIGHT was placed three times in four starts in Perth before coming over here where he has now chalked up six wins in 25 starts for Golden Knight Stable.
