A pre race plan by trainer Peter Leyshan and jockey Wayne Smith was the catalyst for Krystrump’s victory in Sunday’s Class 1 at Taipa.

Former Macau Derby winner Turquoise Power returned to the winner’s circle with a strong win in Saturday’s Class 2 & 3 Handicap over 1500 metres at Taipa.

New Zealand import Krystrump provided Macau trainer Peter Leyshan with the perfect stimulant with his convincing win at Taipa last Saturday.
