Kota Kinabalu: Last Sunday’s (Sept 3) race between Tambalang’s undisputed top two thoroughbreds, Coronation II and One Kinabalu was truly one to remember.
Under blue skies with Mount Kinabalu literally watching over, it was a picturesque setting for the two bitter rivals to perhaps finally end the who is numero uno dispute.
Kota Kinabalu: Another fascinating racing chapter will be added tomorrow (Sunday) to the on-going rivalry of Coronation II and One Kinabalu.
In their previous Class 1 contest on June 4, Coronation II emerged champion and took home the Harvest Festival Cup.
One Kinabalu ran a strong third behind Smart Lad.
Slated to run at 4.50pm Class 1 over a distance of 1100m sand track, Coronation II is tipped to rule Tambalang track again.
A potential gatecrasher to the party is Lucky Magic (ex Evil Wesley) with good fitness and form of late.
Lucky Magic last won against Coronation II on August 6 on 1600m sand track.
Kota Kinabalu: Racing fans will likely bear witness to an exhilarating three-cornered thriller in Tambalang tomorrow (Sunday).
Three of Tambalang’s best Class 2 thoroughbreds, Blarney Blink, Messi and Classic Head, are expected to do battle over 1400m on turf track at 5.05pm.
With his recent drop to Class 2, Blarney Blink, ever diligent and hardworking type, looks a distinct possibility to clinch this race.
However, Messi, in good shape and form, may have a major say in this contest. He had finished a strong second behind Zack (since promoted to Class 1) in a Class 2 race on July 16.
