Littlebitofjoy wins second Perak Derby

IPOH:  Apr 26, 2015

Two years after he first came into prominence by winning the Perak Derby, LITTLEBITOFJOY triumphed in the 2400m staying test for the second time here today, giving budding apprentice Amirul Ismadi his biggest win of his career.

Amirul thus emulated the achievement of his father Ismadi Ismail (who is now a trainer) who scored astride PEAK OF PERFECTION XI in 1998. His uncle, Azhar Ismail, also won the Derby on THE SUNTAN in 1993.

LITTLEBITOFJOY became just the second horse in the history of the Derby dating back to 1950 who won the race more than once. OPPOSING FORCE won back-to-back Derby in 2001 and 2001 and notched a third win in 2005.

LITTLEBITOFJOY is by far the best horse trained by Edylyn Goh who only has a handful of horses in training. She managed just nine winners in the past three years, and LITTLEBITOFJOY has been responsible for seven of the wins.

This season is shaping up to be her best yet. Prior to today, she has won three races with other horses.

LITTLEBITOFJOY had a win and a third from three starts in the USA before arriving in Malaysia.
