HK Debut Winner for Zousain

Tara Madgwick - Monday November 24

Zousain featured at the big Sha Tin meeting on Sunday with his unraced four year-old Mabubu kicked off the card with a debut victory in race one.

Given a solid grounding at barrier trials in Australia where he won a heat at Cranbourne back in February and then for his current trainer Chris So, Mabubu made the running and was too strong at the finish winning the 1200m contest by a long neck.
