Zyrul Nor Azman can expect a nice dinner treat from trainer Tim Fitzsimmons very soon. Most racegoers would do a double take reading that. The likeable jockey did ride a winner on Saturday. But, hold your horses, Ahone is trained by Alwin Tan – not...
Instead of booking Zyrul as he had intended, a brain fade saw him keying in Shafrizal’s name on the Singapore Turf Club racing portal.
“It was supposed to be Zyrul. It’s only when I was watching Track Talk that I saw the rider as Shafrizal,” said a contrite Fitzsimmons. “But I feel really bad for Zyrul as he helps me out a lot. I’ll definitely have to make it up to him with a nice dinner.”Since his last win on Centurion on Sept 10, Michael Clements’ former apprentice had gone through 102 rides without saluting the judge.
“I’m really happy for Shafrizal, and I’m not saying that because I also won a race. It was his first win after a long time,” he said.Fitzsimmons said the US-bred five-year-old by First Samurai had trained on since his Class 5 win on Feb 12, but he was not oozing optimism after the barrier draw.“I was worried by the wide barrier. He would have to do too much work to get across.
“I still help Michael Clements every morning, but I get fewer rides from him as he’s now got Ibrahim Mamat. I also ride a lot for Donna Logan, Fitzsimmons, Jerome Tan.
