Here is the chart …

Do you know where Malaysia and Singapore stands … ?

It ranked #12 at 790,046,424 turnover.

I am not sure what’s the futher breakdown between 2 countries. Just suspect Singapore may contributes higher.

Battle between the 2 king continue …

This is a very interesting race. Known favourite top spin is set to go and try to lead from pillar to post but our local champion jockey – Saimee, rides a patient race and try to catch him at the last 200m. Both rider also top class and it is an exciting race you must watch.

I did not involve much in Selangor racing this week. I think Saimee did not land any winner in Malaysia this week. Hopefully he can claim his pie next week since Hari Raya is Coming …

Just when we thought we were headed for a laborious finish at the business end, a grey flash suddenly shot through the pack like a lightning bolt. It was Din Azis sporting the famous grey and red colours of Lim’s Stable, who had found a gap inside Jade, and wielding the whip like there was no tomorrow, rode his mount out to the line for a famous victory.

This is the quote I took from Singapore Turf Club website … you should watch the video replay. Din Aziz really whips Lim Prestige like no tomorrow. It was a very exciting race except the run by Chevron a bit disappointing. Thought Chevron could lead but … he was slow into stride.

Here is the link to watch the replay for Singapore Derby 2007.
