The Shella Saukia Stable team, Haji Fitrah, expressed their pride in their jockey and horse’s achievement. “Triple S is truly a long-distance horse. Its usual rival, Queen Thalassa, didn’t participate this time, so this was Triple S’s opportunity. The compatibility between the jockey and the horse was perfect,” they stated.
