FOREVER SIXTY-ONE SET TO DOUBLE THE DOSE UNDER LIM

Classy gallopers Arigato and Duma also serve notice with good training workouts

- Brian Miller

It has been a long while since Jason Lim saddled a winner.

The Singaporean trainer, who recently made his training comeback in Malaysia after leaving Kranji in July 2023, managed one second from six runners at his first meeting at Sungai Besi on Oct 5.

Try as he might, Grand Supreme just could not catch Good Chilli in that Class 5A contest (1,020m).

Lim has entered a small but compact team of five - including two emergency acceptors - to contest the Oct 12 races at the Selangor Turf Club.

He could be looking forward to a big show from Forever Sixty-One. A debut winner in a Novice race (1,200m) on April 27 when under the care of Ananthen Kuppan, Forever Sixty-One has since moved to Lim's yard and had a quiet trial on Sept 30.

The son of Belardo will line up in another Novice event (1,275m) and Lim has sent him out for a training gallop on the morning of Oct 7.

Forever Sixty-One breezed over the 600m in 41sec.

Form-watchers will raise a question or two about the four-year-old galloper, given he is resuming after more than five months.

But the New Zealand-bred gelding seems to race best when fresh.
