The Crown Jewel is shining brightly

KUALA LUMPUR:  Mar 13, 2021

 

After a belated start to her racing career, THE CROWN JEWEL is slowly but surely progressing up the ranks.

A last-start runaway win in Class 4 in December was followed by a hard-earned victory in the Class 3 - 1200m handicap at Sungei Besi here today.

With Wong Kam Chong in the saddle, the Australian mare was kept just off the pace and made her move at the right moment to grab the lead close home. But she has to stave off the challenge of last week's winner HIGH COUNCIL to win by a head.
 
Landed as an unraced three-year-old in September 2018, THE CROWN JEWEL had to wait more than a year to make her debut, finishing fourth in December 2019.

She won her next start, and after one more run, spent six months on the sidelines before coming back last August. She has won three of five starts since.
