Grand Cross as fit as ever with 13th win

IPOH:  Jan 2, 2022
 

GRAND CROSS has started the new season the same way as how he ended it in 2021: winning in style.

The veteran galloper appears to be as fit as ever, for since turning nine last August, he has won five times in nine starts.

Ridden by Harmeet Singh Gill, the son of Fastnet Rock jumped smartly and immediately took command, leading from start to finish to win by three lengths in soft going.

Winner of two races from five starts in Australia, GRAND CROSS won three times in Singapore before moving to Malaysia where he has now chalked up 10 wins.
