Platinum Emperor Springs Major Upset in Silver Bowl
The Straits Times
|February 03, 2025
Trainer Choi bags second treble, including Platinum Emperor, who won on KL debut
Outsider Platinum Emperor flew home with a barnstorming finish to take out the RM100,000 (S$30,500) Wilayah Silver Bowl Trophy over 1,200m at Sungai Besi, handing trainer Ricky Choi Chun Wai his third win of the day on Feb 2.
Although the former Macau-based trainer has already bagged a double with Platinum Glory ($13) and Family Delight ($98) earlier on the 10-race programme, Platinum Emperor's sweeping run to victory in the highlight race on the fifth day of Chinese New Year was the showstopper.
Ridden by Nuqman Rozi, the five-year-old son of Sweynesse tailed off early in the 14-horse field after jumping from barrier 6, biding his time while noted speedster Pacific Vampire (Bruno Queiroz) quickly took over the lead from Witnessimpact (Jerlyn Seow) in the back straight.
As the field turned for home, Pacific Vampire, who won three starts over 1,200m at Kranji previously, tried to keep last-start winner Witnessimpact at bay.
All eyes were on the Simon Dunderdale-trained son of Star Witness who was inching closer to Pacific Vampire with every stride, but Choi's galloper decided he would crash the party.
