Rookie apprentice Saddam lands first win

IPOH:  Jul 5, 2015

The number 13 may be unlucky for some but brought joy for apprentice Saddam Hussein Saari.

Saddam, who had four second placings in 12 previous rides, produced the big shock of the afternoon when he partnered ALL SERENE to a runaway win in the Osaka Handicap (Class 4 - 1100m) over the straight course.

Winner of one race back in 2013 in 20 starts in Singapore, ALL SERENE was having his second start in Malaysia. The six-year-old paid RM216.

A chance ride brought a lucky break for another apprentice Lee Wai Keat.

was a last-minute replacement for fellow apprentice P Deneskumar who could not make the weight on BOWEN LAD in the Beppu Handicap (Class 5 - 1400m).

Lee managed just two placings in 27 rides this season, after having landed two winners in his maiden season last year.

For BOWEN LAD, it was his maiden win 21 starts.
