Tilsworth Freddie wins Coronation Cup

IPOH:  Nov 26, 2017
 

In the space of three months, TILSWORTH FREDDIE enjoyed a phenomenal rise through the ranks to win one of the biggest races in the Malaysian circuit.

In winning the RM250,000 Coronation Cup here today, the English gelding made it five consecutive wins and his 13th win from 56 starts. 

Partnered by Yan Weng Kuan, the seven-year-old took command from the start in the 1600m set-weight event and fought on tenaciously when challenged by VOLCANIC GENERAL who had won the Sprint Trophy back in July.
 
For the most part of last three seasons, the English gelding has been racing and winning in Class 4.

But his recent transformation has taken most racing fans by surprise.

For Peter Lee, the Coronation Cup is his biggest win for the former jockey-turned-trainer.
