Far second favorite Jungkook made his move just at the right time to rule Sunday’s 1st Gold House Co. Ltd. Special Invitational Race at the Metroturf
The Low Profile-Liquid Oxygen progeny bided his time as top favorite Boss Emong and Life Gets Better slugged it out to dictate the pace of the race not minding the testing 1800m distance.
It was at the far turn where jockey Jonathan Hernandez, relying on his experience, decided to go for the win with the frontrunners visibly tired.
And that he did as Jungkook held off running mates Robin Hood and Magtotobetsky when he hit the wire two lengths ahead. Boss Emong finished a disappointing fourth.
He negotiated the race in 1:51 (13’-22-24-25-26’)
Overall, a festive racing atmosphere filled the Malvar, Batangas track as buses were provided for the racing fans who wished to see live racing.
Exciting prizes were raffled off for bayang karerista. T
Racing fans applauded Gold House’s lady president Mik Yung Choi who came in native Korean.
