KOK'S DUO RUN THE SHOW IN KL
The Straits Times
|December 25, 2025
Mega Valor and Talkintalkin Power revel on the Selangor sand with authoritative wins
Even though he decided to give the last meeting of 2025 a miss by not fielding any runners at the Ipoh meeting on Dec 28, trainer David Kok was not about to let things slide.
The former Kranji conditioner, who is well known for saddling Smart Star to land the 2024 and last Group 1 Singapore Gold Cup (2,000m) at Kranji, was a busy man at the trials on Dec 23.
Represented by runners in four of the seven trials, his gallopers took out two of those sprints, easy as pie.
Mega Valor claimed the sixth - which was run on the sand track — by a massive six lengths, and he did it in a time of Imin 1.06sec. Talkintalkin Power then won the last trial.
Both times, senior track rider Ruzaini Supien was in the hot seat.
He hardly had time to rest on his laurels when the runners for the final trial of the morning were called to line.
