Here is a word of advice for man and horse. Do not allow Bold Runner to slip by and get away from you. The youngster is very nippy and, if not accorded enough respect on Dec 22, he could make you pay dearly.
The three-year-old has been entered for the Special Novice event and he is going to take some catching over the Selangor 1,300m. Prepared by Ananthen Kuppan, Bold Runner was put through his paces on Dec 17 and his hit-out on the training track left those at trackside with little doubt as to just how much damage he could inflict on those who doubt him.
Sent over the training trip of 600m, this son of Contributer ran out the 600m in 37.4sec. It was an inspiring gallop from this New Zealand-bred who, in three starts at Sungai Besi, has never been outside the top three.
Yes, he broke the ice on debut when winning over the 1,200m. That was on Sept 22. Rested for slightly more than a month, he came back looking to put together a race-to-race double.
But it was not to be. Bold Runner, after looking like a winning chance at the furlong mark, had to settle for third, beaten by Duma and Yes Man.
