Listen surprises in Selangor Gold Cup

KUALA LUMPUR:  Apr 3, 2016
 

A resurgent LISTEN created a big surprise in the RM212,500 Selangor Gold Cup (1600m) at Sungei Besi here today to give trainer Anna Scott her first major trophy since making her bow in 2014.

Ridden by Yudanyl Aify, the New Zealand gelding came from a long way back to beat the second favourite STAR QUALITY by half a length to pay RM91 for a win.

It was the third win in the last four starts for the six-year-old who has finished on board in all six starts since coming under the charge of Scott.

LISTEN had a superb start to his career in 2013 when he was placed in his first six starts at Kranji, winning thrice. But he faded away after that, and in Malaysia had six starts with two different trainers before Scott took charge.
