Ba Li Ba Dancer too speedy in comeback

IPOH:  Aug 9, 2015

BA LI BA DANCER returned to racing after more than nine months to cause an upset in the final event here today.

The Australian five-year-old, ridden by Yazid Khalid, sat nicely fourth behind the pace set by ANAK PUJUT before challenging the leader and won by a neck to his second win in eight starts. He paid RM88.

BA LI BA DANCER, owned by trained by Stephen Cook, was purchased for A$29,000 at the Horses In Training Sale.

UNIQUE ONE caused an even bigger surprise earlier when he came from a long way back to win drawing away by three lengths in the Class 4 - 1200m sprint. He paid RM108.

Winner of two races from 17 starts in Singapore, it was the gelding's first outing in Malaysia.
