Hello Sayang scores runaway win in debut

IPOH:  Apr 19, 2014

Two-year-old HELLO SAYANG took advantage of a huge "pull" in the weights to register a stunning victory in her debut here today.

Carrying only 44.5kg against a 12 three-year-olds, the Australian filly was one of the firsts to break but was tucked just behind the pacemaker and favourite WANG CAI on the rails by jockey Henry Barnabas.

As WANG CAI drifted out making the turn into the straight, HELLO SAYANG got a dream run on his inside, hit the front 150m out and drew away to win by five lengths in the soft going.

Trainer Chong Keng Leong, who normally buys from the Magic Millions sale in Perth, paid A$60,000 for HELLO SAYANG at the Adelaide sale.

Her sire is a Breeders' Cup Mile winner while her dam, also American bred, won six races including two listed races.
