Versatile Truson lands biggest win

KUALA LUMPUR: Aug 20, 2017

TRUSON showed his versatility when he came from well off the pace to capture the RM320,000 Piala Emas Sultan Selangor over 2000m at Sungei Besi here today.

Still unsighted with 300m to go, the son of Al Maher opened up in giant strides in the final 200m just as STAR QUALITY and SEA WORLD were fighting it out in front in the set-weight event.

Ridden by Firman Yap, TRUSON raced past them close home to snatch his biggest win since taking out the Coronation Cup (1600m) last November. It was also the biggest win for Yap.

Since winning the Coronation Cup, TRUSON has finished second to VOLCANIC GENERAL in the Tunku Gold Cup (1200m), third to LISTEN in the Selangor Gold Cup (1600m) and third to VONCALNIC GENERAL in the Penang Sprint Trophy (1400m).

TRUSON was being tested beyond 1600m for just the second time today. He also contested the Piala Emas Sultan Selangor last, finishing seventh to EN LAUDER.

TRUSON has now raced 35 times for 10 wins and 15 placings.
