Golden Sardine set for fourth win

He has been knocking at the door. But that fourth win has been elusive.

Indeed, it has been five months since Golden Sardine picked up a winner's purse.

That last one was on June 4. In that race over the 1,300m at the Selangor Turf Club, he came from third at the final bend to beat Good Fight by a shorthead.

That day, jockey Ruzaini Supien had to work really hard for the money and both horse and jockey deserved the cheers.

Well, Golden Sardine has a chance to post a fourth win on the board when he takes on a Class 3 field over the 1,200m on Nov 10.

It will not be a walk in the park, but trainer Winson Cheng Han Yong would feel good after watching his charge go about his workout on Nov 5.

Sent over the 600m, the seven-year-old son of Iffraaj showed good action when running the trip in a swift 36sec.

It was a show of speed and, as we know, Golden Sardine enjoys being able to dictate things.

He did that two starts back when leading until the 200m mark.
