Rich N Powerful And Mighty Slick As Well

Trainer Tan Eng Peow's mare easily beats the boys at the Sungai Besi trials on July 29

Rich N Powerful was at the trials on the morning of July 29, and there were plenty of similarities with the Bold Runner story.

On July 22, the latter won his trial in commanding fashion, beating Benbo by four lengths on the sand track.

Five days later, he was at the races and the rest is history. Bold Runner reproduced that trial form only better.

The Ananthen Kuppan-trained three-year-old ran away from his rivals to take the Class 4B race (1,300m) at Sungai Besi with loads of authority.

Rich N Powerful hails from a different yard, that of Tan Eng Peow, but who is to say he cannot do the same on Aug 3?

The Dream Ahead mare arguably does not have as much upside as Bold Runner, but her trial still channelled the same vibes.

Rich N Powerful's hit-out was also on the sand, and she also led all the way.

It was actually a tale of last horse in, first horse out, and this is how that fourth trial unfolded.
