Lectern returns to Malaysia with first-up win

KUALA LUMPUR:  Mar 28, 2015

Having shown much potential in his first campaign in Malaysia, LECTERN returned from a failed stint in Singapore to fulfill his promise by winning first-up in the Maiden - 1200m handicap at Sungei Besi here today.

From late 2013 to early last year, LECTERN was placed four times in six starts in Malaysia after coming from Australia where he managed one placing from four runs.

His owners decided to have a crack at the lucrative but more competitive Singapore scene. However, LECTERN, purchased by his original owners for A$7,000 as a three-year-old race horse, fared badly in four starts at Kranji, finishing dead last in his last outing last August.

LECTERN subsequently returned to Malaysia to rejoin trainer Richard Lines and was also sold to new owners.

After seven months out of action, LECTERN finally showed what he is capable of when he made all the running to win today, beating the odds-on favourite GET THE LOTSKI by one length to pay RM66 for a win.
