ATLANTE LEGEND PRIMED FOR BACK-TO-BACK DOUBLE
The Straits Times
|February 12, 2025
Champion trainer Dunderdale’s veteran galloper works well after his first win in KL
That nail-biting last-start win on Jan 31 would have earned Atlante Legend busloads of fans.
Then, under a well-judged ride from Blaike McDougall, Atlante Legend got home in the nick of time in the Class 4A contest over 1,200m.
The son of Atlante came from near last at the home turn to beat Storm Pegasus by a nose, thereby getting off the mark at his third start in Kuala Lumpur.
A former six-time winner in Singapore, Atlante Legend will have his next assignment at Sungai Besi in a Class 4A sprint (1,150m) on Feb 16. Trainer Simon Dunderdale must already be plotting a race-to-race double for the eight-year-old New Zealand-bred.
The 2024 Malaysian champion trainer was a busy man on the morning of Feb 11.
The bulk of his 18-strong team for the races coming up were out for work on the training track and Atlante Legend was one of them.
On a track rated "good", he was one of the star workers when he clocked 41.2sec for the 600m.
