Asogan saddles first winner

IPOH:  Sep 28, 2014

Jockey-turned-trainer Asogan Thangaraju saddled his first winner when SUNNY STAR took advantage of a light impost of just 50kg to win a Class 5 - 1600m handicap in soft going here today.

SUNNY STAR won nine times for trainer KM Noordin, for whom Asogan was assistant trainer before the latter branched out on his own last June.

Already 11 years old, the Australian gelding showed that he is far from finished with racing when he fought tooth and nail with the front-running DALMATION before winning by a neck. It was his fifth start for Asogan.
