Good Fight knocks
out rivals with upset win
KUALA LUMPUR: May 6, 2023 |
|
|
GOOD FIGHT caused a big upset when
he made most of the running to win the Combined Class 3 & 4 event over 1400m
at Sungei Besi here today, continuing to make his presence felt since moving
to Malaysia just over a year ago.
The son of Super One managed just one win in nine starts in Singapore
but has now picked up four wins in 10 appearances under trainer Simon
Dunderdale.
Two starts back, GOOD FIGHT went down to PERFECT in a Supreme C event over
1400m on his track. He finished down the field when PERFECT won again in a
Class 3 - 1400m three weeks ago.
PERFECT was expected to complete a hattrick and punters backed him to start
odds-on today. But the favourite failed to fire and finished a tame fifth.
GOOD FIGHT, on the other hand, surged to the front after 200m to lead the
rest of the way home, winning by 1 3/4 lengths. He paid RM92.
The day's proceedings were cut short after two jockey Khaw Choon Jit and
apprentice Chong Kar Hoong fell in Race 6 and there were no ambulances on
standby for the final two races.
Meanwhile, jockey Laercio De Souza
enjoyed his best afternoon this season when he booted home three winners:
MODRIC, ALWAYS AFRAID and HOUSEHOLD DYNASTY.
