Super Hero still formidable at eight

KUALA KUMPUR:  Jan 1, 2021
 

Since turning eight last August, SUPER HERO has gone on to win four races and was placed second twice in seven starts.

Beaten a head last time out last month, the Rip Van Winkle gelding quickly bounced back to score by a neck in Class 3 - 1400m handicap at Sungei Besi here today, the opening day of the 2021 season.

It was his sixth career win, having landed two victories in Singapore before coming over to Malaysia.

SACRED TONIC, who began his Malaysian campaign with a hattrick of wins in 2019, is also back on top of his game.

After picking up one win early last year and ended the year with another success, the Pour Moi gelding began the new season with a hard-earned victory in a another Class 3 - 1400m handicap.

SACRED TONIC was placed in two of five runs in Australia and twice in eight outings in Singapore before coming to Malaysia.
