Relau Star regains
shine with mild upset
IPOH: Oct 29, 2022 |
|
|
After being out of the limelight
for more than a year, RELAU STAR was back to dazzle when he captured the
Enrich Stakes A event over 1400m here today.
The son of Captain Sonador has won 10 races since making his debut in 2017
but his last success came a week to the day here last year.
Up against last-start winners CHINA CAPTAIN, GRAND CHOICE (gunning for a
hattrick) and DIRECTOR, the eight-year-old appeared to have his work cut out
for him today.
But jockey Saddam Hussein Saari, who had ridden RELAU STAR in his last three
wins, knew the horse well.
The pair settled well off the pace. Just when GRAND CHOICE hit the front in
the home with DIRECTOR chasing him on the outside, Saddam took the inside
run on RELAU STAR.
They slowly but surely cut down the two leaders in the final 200m and went
on to win by 1 1/4 lengths.
RELAU STAR was purchased by Wong Kong Fatt for just A$25,000 as an unraced
two-year-old and the Australian gelding has rewarded his trainer with 11
wins.
