Horse Racing Singapore and Malaysia

I was in Kuala Lumpur on Sunday, so I did not concentrate fully. Just focus my bettings in Singapore races after being postpone.

My betting list :

Race 1 – 3 Eternal Luck, ( result : 2nd )
Race 2 – 8 Fantastic Goal, ( result : 2nd )
Race 3 – 1 Nirvana, ( result : 2nd )
Race 4 – 4 Valiant Master ( result : 2nd )
Race 5 – 3 Lucky Strong ( unplaced )
Race 6 – 12 Magic Eight ( unplaced )
Race 7 – 3 Iron Eyes Cody ( Winner ) + 4 Tucson ( fourth )
Race 8 – No bet. I like Zibellino but pay too little.
Race 9 – 5 Field Princess ( Winner )

Overall, did not make money because most of the place only yield $5. Very pathetic.

After reading the race commentary, I feel that we should take

Aussie trainer John Meagher and his super-talented apprentice Adam Fiezan took the feature sprint at today’s Kranji meeting in Singapore, with smart galloper Arenti – who brought his winning tally to 9 wins from 12 starts with the win.

Meagher has had several top flight apprentices in his care in Australia including Brett Prebble (now hugely successful in Hong Kong) and Aaron Spiteri (who is riding in Singapore) but Fiezan is equal to any of them at a comparative stages of their careers and his ability is clearly evident by his master’s faith in putting him on Arenti in the feature race.

Despite being slowly away, Fiezan did not panic and gradually wound his way through the field on Arenti to have him within striking distance of the leaders on the final turn where he brought him to the outside to run down Zinly (Benny Woodworth) and Meagher’s other runner, Lim’s Passion

I wanted to blog about this last Sunday after the race but the slow internet connection really killing my mood.

Until today …

My bet is on Expunge and Raul. Was expecting Raul to run a better race but the horse was struggling during home turn and can’t even bypass China Rock. I know my bet gone …

Luckily I see Spiteri steered Expunge to the front and he was the last corner leader and ahead the rest of the pack. Using the chase me if you can strategy, Expunge beats Light of Success by a mere short head. The finishing was very close. I watched the replay and close up again just to confirm the winner. So, you see how close the finishing is.

I am not able to get any photo finish to share and Singapore Turf Club did not archive any race replay for Malaysia races.

Anybody watch that race ?
