Black and White proves to be the best 3YO

KUALA LUMPUR:  Jun 14, 2014

Although he did not win any of the six heats, BLACK AND WHITE proved without doubt he is the top three-year-old in the country when he triumphed in the RM200,000 Malaysia 3YO Championship (1400m) at Sungei Besi here today.

The Australian gelding was prolific last year when he reeled off four consecutive races before finishing third to the older FEISTY LEO in the RM1mil Malaysian Magic Millions Classic (for three and four year olds).

BLACK AND WHITE won a fifth race early this season before being spelled and transferred to trainer Ooi Chin Chin in Penang.

BLACK AND WHITE resumed racing early this month with a fourth to TRIPLE ONE D'BEST in a heat of the championship but brushed aside all the rest with style today.

Ridden by Oscar Chavez, BLACK AND WHITE was parked next to the rails in midfield before being switched out gradually at the top of the straight. The favourite BALOTELLI took the lead at the 300m but BLACK AND WHITE went after the leader and the duo fought stride-for-stride to the post before the latter surged clear close home to win by one length.

It is the biggest win for first-season trainer Ooi Chin Chin.
