Shahronnizam has a day out in Ipoh
The Straits Times
|December 08, 2025
Malaysian apprentice jockey Nik Shahronnizam claimed the riding honours with a treble at his home track in Ipoh on Dec 6 to bring his season's haul to 16 wins.
-
The three-kilo-claiming Shahronnizam, 25, landed back-to-back races on Golden Cup ($19) and Man Of Action ($15) for trainer Asogan Thangaraju before wrapping up the Saturday meeting aboard $85 outsider Harveywallbanger for Richard Lines in the last event of the 11-race programme.
Asogan also continues to pile up the winners, making him the top trainer in Ipoh with 32 winners so far this season.
Man Of Action was a recent transfer from Kevin Coetzee, who saddled the Sebring six-year-old to three wins early in the season.
Man Of Action’s win in the RM30,000 (S$9,400) Enrich Stakes A race over 1,400m followed his unplaced run in the Group 1 Coronation Cup (1,600m) which was won by Good Star on Nov 16.
Shahronnizam might have visited the winner's circle the most on Saturday, but one horse laid claim to an even more “winningest” record on the day, Talkingtalkingguru.
