No Regrets wins two-horse race, literally

PENANG:  Oct 14, 2023

 

In one of most unusual sights seen on the track, just two runners faced the starter in the combined Classes 3 and 4 race over 1200m here today.

This came about when three declared runners in the race did not arrive on course after the float carrying then to Penang broke down on the highway.

That left on NO REGRETS and RONALDO'S DREAM, both trained by Sharee Hamilton, to battle it out. NO REGRETS, ridden by apprentice SN Shiva, was always clear of his stablemate in the running and won by four and a quarter lengths. It was his eighth win in 45 starts in Singapore and Malaysia.

Salee Saad, with just three wins for the season prior to today's meeting, had a welcome change of luck when he partnered CAORUNN to victory in the Class 5 - 1100m sprint, giving Hamilton a double.

The other two races today were won by trainer Bonny Ng with BIG MONKEY and SUNNY FIGHTER.
