Stablemate Banker’s Warrior also gives positive signs ahead of April Il race debut

- Brian Miller

On her overseas record, Banker’s sweetheart looked a shoo-in to win on her Malaysian debut.

Alas, when the mare did go to the races on March 15, her supporters would have felt jilted.

They sent the mare off as the $22 pick, but their “sweetheart” let them down when finishing sixth in that 1100m sprint at the Selangor Turf Club.

So it was, they left her out in the cold at her last start on March 29 and it proved to be a wise decision as the Safeguard five-year-old did everything wrong.

She “fly-jumped” when the gates opened and never got going.

She eventually beat just one home and, as expected, the racing stewards deemed that she needed a starting test before her next start.
