Back in Singapore after a
three-month apprenticeship in Tasmania, Amirul Ismadi did not take long to
get back into the winner's circle at Kranji.
After drawing a blank yesterday, the Ipoh lad managed to score in his final
ride today on HONGCHEN in the Class 4 - 1600m handicap.
Amirul rode the New Zealand gelding twice last year without success. But
this time, he was able to bring the seven-year-old from third spot most of
the way to win by three-quarter length ahead of the favourite GOL GOAL.
"Very
happy to ride a winner at my first day back home, even if technically today
is the second day. Hopefully, it’ll bring more support and more winners from
now on," said Amirul.
HONGCHEN's best effort in four starts in New Zealand was a fourth but
has picked up seven wins from 58 outings in Singapore.
