Bernardo Pinheiro rode a personal best of six winners at Sungei Besi on Sept 8 to reach a career total of 700 winners.
To top it all, the Brazilian jockey captured his third Selangor Gold Cup on Antipodean to add to his wins on Truson in 2019 and Pasir Pinji in 2023.
Antipodean and fellow young gun Golden Pegasus were the only two horses seriously backed to win the RM200,000 (S$60,000) Group 1 feature (1,600m) sponsored by Hygain Horse City.
The two horses had swept the Selangor Turf Club age group races this season, with Antipodean winning the three-year-old series and Golden Pegasus the four-year-old series.
The duo duly dominated the finish of the Selangor Gold Cup, with Pinheiro's mastery the factor that got Antipodean home ahead of the favourite Golden Pegasus (Ruzaini Supien).
Sincerely (Cheah Wei Wen) led early but a very eager Awesome Storm (Jerlyn Seow) took over on settling down and set a brisk pace from Sincerely and Cheval Blanc (Tham Kim Chong).
Good Fight (Krisna Thangamani) was next with Antipodean taking a handy fifth position, while Golden Pegasus was seventh in midfield.
