Azhar Ismail bounces back with treble

IPOH:  Jan 18, 2014

Azhar Ismail is bouncing back the best way he knows after losing out on the 2013 jockey's premiership on the final day of the season to Jai Shankar.

Azhar went into the final day with a one-winner lead but drew a blank while Shankar booted home a treble to create history as the first Indian jockey to the title.

Into the third week of racing, Azhar booted home a treble here today to share the lead with Shankar at five winners apiece.

Azhar, who recently parted ways with top owner Golden Knight Stable, has always been popular with other trainers and continue to do so.

His winners today were prepared by three different trainers, all based in Ipoh, as the home contingent made a clean sweep of the eight races contested.
