RACING THIS Sunday, 2 Feb takes on a festive and celebratory mood with the running of time honoured Fortune Bowl (Race 4, Class A) 1900m over turf track at Tambalang Racecourse.
Rising star Kinabalu Warrior under astute champion jockey Fazli D is the horse to beat. Last tested on 29 December 2024 over 1800m with a respectable third place finish, Blarney Blink has both guile and experience for a proper challenge.
Kinabalu Star and Summer Glitter should round up the selections. New comer David Sling has yet to travel this distance but he may surprise making this race more intriguing.
Race 3 (Rating 67-127) over 1100m sand track features the imposing Lord Justice up against the current Tambalang kings in Coronation II, One Kinabalu and Ben.
The talented and consistent Smart Lad can offer a good fight and should finish strong. Some respect should also be accorded to Kinabalu Prince. He had secured strong place positions in his last three outings.
Race 5 (Class 3) over 110m-sand track will be a race too close to call.
First September, Water Princess, Bombardier and Forever Princess are all on par perhaps with First September having the slightest of edge.
King Zackry and Ratu First should be regarded given their decent past five runs.
The highly-anticipated and ever popular lion & dragon dance to be staged by Kelab Tarian Singa San Sheng Gung, KK, returns to Tambalang Racecourse this Sunday to usher in the lunar new year.
Racing fans can look forward to an afternoon of exciting races and breathtaking entertainment.
