Still glorious at nine years

IPOH:  Jun 24, 2018
 

At nine years, GLORY AGE proved he has still got what it takes with a comeback win in the final event here today.

At the tail-end of 2016 and early, the son of Jet Spur scored back-to-back wins in Class 4 and a Cosmo D set-weight event.

Three runs later, GLORY AGE put up the best performance of his career when he finished second, albeit by seven lengths in soft going, to FORTUNIQUE in the Perak Derby over 2400m on this track.

Since then, the gelding has managed just two other placings, the last time more than three months ago.

Ridden by Daniel Jagadishan for second consecutive start, GLORY AGE settled in midfield but quickly closed in the leaders at the top of the straight to win by three-quarter length. He paid RM201.

It was the gelding's 14th win 92 starts dating back to June 2012.
