All Bow To Noah Khan's Authority

Trainer Siva lands the trifecta with Golden Pegasus, Rocky Pegasus filling the minors

- Brian Miller

There is pretty much nothing not to like about Noah Khan.

As one of the higher-rated horses plying his trade in Malaysia, he keeps drawing a growing fan base by the day, just like he did at the trials on Sept 3.

Noah Khan did put on a show at the trials. Partnered by Aify Yahaya and having to clear the outermost gate in the first trial of the morning, the son of Swiss Ace was the first to break.

Smart Cat (Liang Xiaochuan) and Golden Pegasus (Bernardo Pinheiro) tried their best to keep him from running away, but Noah Khan was not in the mood to grant any favours.

He strode off and even before the field straightened for that run to the post, he had opened up a two-length lead.

Up in the saddle, Aify just kept it simple.

He aimed his mount at the line and sat as still as a statue as Noah Khan did the work.

As for the rest of the runners, they watched as he went further and further away.

Noah Khan would eventually win by three lengths—easing up, clocking the 1,000m trip in a cool 59.72sec.
