Sukri on a roll with four winners

KUALA LUMPUR:  May 11, 2019
 

Boosted by the arrivals of a dozen British-raced horses late last year, trainer Mohd Sukri has been on a roll in the past couple of months.

The strike rate by his new arrivals have been amazing, and joining the list of winners today was CUBAN HEEL, who was placed in seven of 13 starts at two and three in England.

The English gelding by Havana Gold, who was unplaced in his debut, improved to finish third over 1600m last start. On that run, CUBAN HEEL was installed a raging odds-on favourite at RM6 in the Open Maiden event over 1600m at Sungei Besi here today.

The four-year-old did not disappoint, romping home by 3 3/4 lengths.

Sukri's recent haul of winners was not confined to the new arrivals. The Singaporean also scored with FORTUNE SPIRIT, SPEEDY DEMON and MAJOR GREEN today, making it his best day as a trainer.

His quartet today brought his tally for the season thus far to 19, compared with just 12 winners last year.
