Nine-year-old Kerauno lands comeback win

PENANG:  Oct 16, 2021

 

Nine-year-old KERAUNO defied his age and topweight to score a comeback win in the Welcome Back Stakes over 1200m here today, the first racing day on this track after the enforced break due to the Covid-19 lockdown.

The son of Equiano has already won six races in 26 starts but was out of action for a year before making a comeback last December when he finished second.

KERAUNO was placed in another two runs earlier this year and the Covid-19 break did not hinder his return to form. Ridden by Rosmizan, he settled just off the lead and charged through a gap between the two front runners at the 200m to win by 1 3/4 lengths.

The big shock of the day came from former Singapore galloper SHANGANI, a three-time winner at Kranji, who battled to victory in his Malaysian debut to pay RM635 for a win.
