Rebel Fury repeats Tunku Gold Cup win

KUALA LUMPUR:  Feb 2, 2014

REBEL FURY, who made a winning Malaysian debut in the Tunku Gold Cup last year, has bounced back to form at the right moment to win the 1200m sprint classic for the second time at Sungei Besi here today.

Ridden this time by Jai Shankar, the newly-crowned champion jockey parked the Australian seven-year-old in fourth spot till the home turn before challenging the leaders COLIN THE FIRTH and ATTORNEY GENERAL for the lead.

It was only in the final 200m that REBEL FURY surged to the front and drew away to win by one length and a quarter.

After his debut win last year, REBEL FURY picked up one more win two runs later but then struggled to regain his winning form, until today.

It was the second consecutive big win for trainer Shane Edwards who in December saddled MONSILI to win the Yang Di Pertua Negeri Gold Cup (2000m) in Penang.

Edwards trained REBEL FURY to win seven races in Western Australian before bringing the gelding to Malaysia when he relocated here early last year.
