Muniandy lands first win in Malaysia

PENANG:  July 6, 2014

The opportunities have been limited since he began riding in the country of his birth on June 15, but Muniandy Shankar finally booted home his first win in Malaysia astride MY SWALLOW in a Restricted Maiden event over 1300m here today.

The Australian filly, bought for A$30,000 as a yearling, finished down the field in her first two starts in Singapore early this year and was subsequently sold and sent over to trainer KM Noordin Penang.

A change of scenery was apparently what the three-year-old wanted as he was out in front in a flash today and led from start to finish to win comfortably by one and a quarter lengths.

Unfancied in the betting in the capacity 16-horse field, MY SWALLOW paid RM270 for a win.

It was Muniandy's eighth ride.
