Varmah hits milestone with High Council

KUALA LUMPUR:  Mar 7, 2021
 

Apprentice Varmah Neelavanan reached a milestone in his career when he chalked up his 10th career win on HIGH COUNCIL in a Class 3 - 1100m handicap at Sungei Besi here today.

The High Chaparral nine-year-old who finished down the field in the final three starts last year, has bounced back after a short let-up to score an upset in his seasonal debut.

HIGH COUNCIL jumped well from his wide barrier and managed to take up a handy position. When he two leaders INNIMINYMINEMOW and BURKAAN drifted out in the home straight, HIGH COUNCIL took a run on the inside and went after the lead.

HIGH COUNCIL was however inclined to hand in badly and Varmah had to steady the gelding on a couple of occasions. But once straightened, the veteran galloper raced away to win by 1 1/4 lengths.

HIGH COUNCIL paid a thumping RM308 for his ninth win in Malaysia. The gelding, who cost NZ$220,000 as a yearling, had a win and third in two starts Down Under before picking up one win in 10 starts in Singapore.
