Suntzu breaks duck with runaway win

IPOH:  Jan 13, 2018
 

SUNTZU revelled in the heavy going to score an emphatic win in a Class 5 - 1200m handicap here today. It was the maiden win in 18 starts for the Australian five year old.

Ridden by Khairil Zulkiflee, the gelding was racing in midfield early and easily inched closer to the leaders at the home bend.

At the 400m, SUNTZU was in the firing line fighting for the lead. In the final 200m, the gelding cleared away from the rest to win by seven lengths.

Apprentice Saddam landed a double thanks to seasoned campaigners, eight-year-old RACING MAN and nine-year-old LONESOME ME.
