Esteem Power wins again after 30 months

IPOH:  Feb 16, 2014

It's has taken ESTEEM POWER, winner of four races in Singapore in 2010, more than 30 months to find his winning form again.

The Australian gelding was shipped to Malaysia in mid-2011 after some disappointing runs at Kranji and resumed racing some eight months later.

Apart from a second-place finish in 2012, ESTEEM POWER has always finished down the field. In fact, on this track 12 months ago, he returned lame off-fore when last of 19 runners over the straight course.

But after a year off racing, ESTEEM POWER returned in style when he came charging home to win by two and three-quarter lengths in a Class 4 - 1400m handicap here today, a special one-day meeting for home based horses.
