Sand Lane springs big upset win

PENANG:  Feb 3, 2018
 

SAND LANE, who has not finished in the placings since late 2015, sprang a huge surprise when he took the opening event here today.

In fact, in 33 starts in Malaysia, the Sandtrap gelding had managed just the one placing. In all his 15 runs last year, he has finished in the tailend.

But ridden by Abdul Malik Aizat, SAND LANE showed remarkable pace today to be near the lead throughout and won by half a length from the favourite UNCLE GLORY. He paid RM501.

SAND LANE finished second in his only run in Australia before moving to Singapore where he picked up three wins in 23 starts.
