Macau Derby winner Mega Gems upstages favourites in Malaysian Group 1 mile race
Kuala Lumpur trainer Wayne Lim Woei Chet finally broke his maiden Group status after Mega Gems snagged the RM250,000 (S$75,400) Group 1 Kawan ESG Coronation Cup (1,600m) in Ipoh on Nov 3.
Into his 13th year of training and with around 250 winners to his name, Lim came the closest to breaking his feature race duck with top galloper Golden Pegasus, beaten a short head by Malaysian star Antipodean in the Group 1 Selangor Gold Cup (1,600m) on Sept 8.
Mega Gems had not even had his Malaysian introduction then, but his glowing Macau resume may well double Lim's chances of ticking that box.
The Zoustar five-year-old counts the Group 1 Macau Derby (1,800m) in July 2023 as one of his four wins in the former racing jurisdiction (closed down on April 1), when known as Master Hunter and trained by Peter Ho.
