Robben scores in debut

IPOH: Nov 18, 2017

ROBBEN made a winning debut when he stormed to an easy victory in the inaugural Odds Park Japan & Perak Turf Club Friendship Cup here today.

The Restricted Maiden event was confined to three-year-olds over 1200m and apprentice S Saddam rode a copy book race on the Australian gelding.

The field raced in a tight bunch early and Saddam hugged the rails in the middle of the pack on ROBBEN. The runners gradually fanned out on the wet track and ROBBEN was racing just behind the pacemaker GHOST BANK going into the straight.

GHOST BANK was still a clear leader at the 300m but ROBBEN gradually wore him down and raced away to win handsomely.

12-year-old HERE COMES THUNDER showed that he can still raise a gallop with a shock win in the Class 4 - 1200m sprint, returning RM111 on the win tote. It was his 15th win in 115 starts.
