Penang trainers make clean sweep

PENANG:  Feb 3, 2013

It has been a long, long time since Penang based trainers dominated the races as they did this weekend.

Yesterday, they won five of the seven races contested and today they made a clean sweep of the nine races on the card.

Coincidentally, this show of force came in the very first meeting after the Penang Turf Club announced an increase in the 'incentive bonus' to RM20,000.

This amount is paid to the winning owner of a Penang based horse that wins a race in Penang, on top of the regular prize money.

Wee Mung Hua led the way with three winners and now shares the lead at the top of the table with Kevin Cozetee and Leong Poh Keong at six winners apiece.

Veteran trainer Tommy Noordin and David Miller also saddled their first winner of the season which means all 10 Penang based trainers are off the mark for the new season.
