All the buzz had been about overwhelming favourite Dream Alliance in Saturday’s $70,000 Class 3 race (1,400m), but trainer David Kok was more worried about an Achilles’ heel of Sabah Star’s – quite literally, footwear malfunction. From the way Dream Alliance motored...
If there was to be one caveat, it was the Pins six-year-old getting wrong-footed by his own tendency of springing a shoe in a race. Sabah Star has returned to the stables shoeless three times in the last six starts.“The shoe cannot be fitted properly because his hoof wall is too thin and the nails don’t get a good grip.
On the other hand, Dream Alliance had less of an uninterrupted run at a crucial moment. As he attemped to take a gap between Sabah Star and Stenmark , he had to steady when Stenmark rolled in and crowded him. The Malaysian jockey said that in the last week or so, he had been feeling bullish that another hurrah for the East Malaysian outfit would hail from Sabah Star.
