KING SAVINSKY wins at Penang Turf Club (Malaysia)

Published 30 July 2017

Rising seven year old gelding KING SAVINSKY (Savabeel- Lynisky) proved himself to be somewhat of a globe trotter when winning for the first time in Malaysia on Saturday 29th July. Already a winner in New Zealand as a 3yo and then a three time winner in Singapore, he has now added Malaysia to his list. Contesting the Class 5 1700 metre event at the Penang Turf Club, his 5th start since transferring to Malaysia earlier in 2017, a bold ride by senior jockey S Salee saw KING SAVINSKY rocket out of the gates to take the lead. Challenged mid race by another runner, the pace was hot, but turning for home THE KING did not flinch and maintained a strong gallop to the line, staving off all challengers to win by half a length. KING SAVINSKY is trained at Penang by ex pat Kiwi conditioner Sharee Hamilton.
