Many jockeys claim they can sniff up a Group winner, but only a few actually have this gift.
Alsisuhairi Harry” Kasim may not be the most experienced jockey around, but he does draw trainers and owners’ attention when he spots a champion.
Maybe it is his days as a young boy riding bareback in his native Kelantan that has imparted in him that natural horse sense.
But, going purely on black-and-white racing facts and figures, his record of nine Group wins in 1 years at Kranji does suggest he must have some idea.
When the 37-year-old first sat on a three-year-old from David Kok’s yard in 2022, he felt goosebumps only the likes of Mr Malek, I’m Incredible and Minister made him feel before.
Three starts later, Sabah Ace is still undefeated, with the last two victories, both in Class 4 company, forged under A’'lsisuahiri’s guidance.
At the latest in the 50,000 Countofmontecristo 2019 Stakes Class 4 Division 2 race over the Polytrack 1,200m on Saturday, the Malaysian hoop reiterated his high praise of the son of Swiss Ace.
“I’m really excited about Sabah Ace. I’ve not had anything special in my hands lately,” he said.
