Garudan Could Make It Right For Hamilton

One has to feel bad for Sharee Hamilton at the just concluded Selangor meeting. The Malayan Racing Association's only woman trainer had entered a team of seven for the 10 races. What could have been the sound of popping champagne corks, turned out to be the sound of flat fizz when three of her runners finished second.

Racing is sometimes a cruel game. Everyone is in it to win, but that being the case, you win some, you lose some — that is racing. However, and judging from the trials held on the morning of March 25, Hamilton might soon be able to pick up a winner with a former Kranji campaigner — Laksana, now renamed Garudan.
