Good Flying equals 1600m track record

IPOH:  Mar 1, 2014

After notching two wins for champion owner Golden Knight Stable and trainer Kevin Coetzee, GOOD FLYING opened accounts for his new owner and trained David Miller with a record-equalling win in the New Straits Times Trophy here today.

Ridden by Yudanyl Aify, the six-year-old bounced back to form to win by one and a quarter lengths in the Class 4, Div 1 - 1600m handicap, and returned a time of 1min. 34.6secs.

The time was first set by THE GURU in 2000 and equalled by SMOOTH SAILING in the same year. FREE SPIRIT matched the time when carrying an imposing 61kg to win in 2009.

GOOD FLYING, purchased by Golden Knight Stable for A$100,000 as a yearling, won two races in Perth including the listed Perth Stakes at Perth before coming to Malaysia.

His career here was interrupted by a 11-month layoff but returned to racing with a first-up win last August.
