Ipoh apprentice puts on clinic in KL, halts Fright’s winning run with outsider Hasten
-
Apprentice jockey Syafifie Zailuddin was on fire at Sungai Besi on Oct 25, when he booted home a career-best haul of five winners.
The bonanza brings the Ipoh-based jockey’s tally to 18 for the season, 11 adrift of leading apprentice Jerlyn Seow on 29 wins.
“I was confident of riding two winners today but five was totally unexpected. Still I am grateful for the results,” said Syafifie, who is indentured to Kevin Coetzee.
“I shall strive to improve my riding and win more races.”
Adding even greater merit to his prolific day was the fact that the first three of them were all big-priced winners, including Hasten ($136) who inflicted the first defeat on the hitherto unbeaten Fright in the Class 3 sprint over 1,020m.
Both horses were up in class, with Fright following up his double in Class 4 with a runaway win in a Max Two race earlier in October.
He was backed down to odds-on favouritism to extend his run.
