Regarding Shares Investment
Shares Investment offers readers information regarding companies’ insights, financial figures and helpful investment ratios. In addition, the publication consists of articles on interviews with top management of listed companies, write-ups on initial public offerings, market happenings and market assessments. In order to catch up with the “real time” pedestal, the publication is available less than 24 hours after the market closes on Friday.

Widening its geographical reach, Shares Investment has also branched out its publication to Malaysia and China. Shares Investment Malaysia and China are published monthly and both publications stand firmly on their healthy base of audiences. Shares Investment Malaysia collaborates with Nanyang Siang Pau and International Times and is accredited as an useful read for investors.

Creation Of New Platforms
Shares Investment has grown throughout the years as it continued adding value to its readers.
Besides its printed publication, Shares Investment has introduced additional content outlets that are very much sought after nowadays. With the constant push of technology and evolution, Shares Investmentintroduced its website, www.sharesinv.com, which provides readers a new multimedia platform. On top of articles which can be found in the physical publication itself, the website also provides additional interesting reads, forum and external helpful sources which aid investors’ to be better informed of the happenings in and around the markets.

Because information which is current, updated and accurate is expensive and cumbersome to compile,Shares Investment has incorporated its data feed to not only churn insights from its own but concurrently gathers information from external live feed sources such as world indices, Dow Jones Newswire and more.

In line with the 15^th anniversary, Shares Investment will be launching its mobile application for iPhone, which would allow users to access its web and information on-the-go. Shares Investment also provides in-house seminars where it collaborates with renowned investment speakers to share their experienced insights. This is the first time Shares Investment is holding its large-scale seminar at the Suntec Convention Centre. The seminar will feature two distinct speakers who are regular columnists of Shares Investment and are renowned in the investment commentary scene, namely Professor Chan Yan Chong and Gabriel Gan.

The Featured Delights
Renowned for views on a wider perspective, Professor Chan is no stranger to the world of investments.

Apart from that, Professor Chan also conducts investment seminars to many full house audiences. Accrediting his successes, the government of Hong Kong SAR (2007) has awarded him the Medal of Honor. In addition, he was awarded the International Financial Awards of Excellence by the Chinese Institute of Certified Financial Planners.

Grant’s Success broke through for a well deserved victory when successful in the $125,000 Punters’ Way Sprint over 1200m on Sunday.

And in doing so, the gelding landed a betting plunge firming into $19 at the finish.

Ridden by Robbie Fradd,Grant’s Success overpowered his rivals in the straight to score by one-and-three-quarter lengths over Chevron (Saimee Jumaat) with Ace And Aces (Danny Beasley) a head away third.

A solid pace was carved out in the early stages of the race with Future Baby (Mohd Zaki) leading from Ace And Aces with Silver Profesor (Mark Ewe) and Grant’s Success in close attendance.

This quartet held sway as the field made their way to the home turn where Ace And Aces quickly moved to Future Baby under a strong hold.

Ace And Aces looked to have the measure of his rivals with 200m to run, however the gelding could not withstand the finishing burst of the winner who came out past the centre of the track with his run.

Chevron ran on strongly towards the inside while Recast (Din Azis) was noticed getting to the line strongly to finish fourth.

Punters’ Way Sprint - Grant’s Success burst to the finish.

Winning trainer Michael Clements explained that he had changed Grant’s Success’ racing pattern by giving him more time between his races.

“He seems to be thriving having a good break between his races,” said Clements. “He’s appreciating having between four and five weeks between his runs.

“The way he’s racing I think he can handle extra ground but I’ll see how does in getting over this run before I decide what to do with him.

“But the main thing I’ll do is continue to race him sparingly.” While Clements is considering stepping Grant’s Success up in distance, Fradd believes the six-year-old is better suited being kept to the 1200m trip.

“They go at a nice gallop for him over 1200m,” said Fradd. “I think they just go at that slightly steadier pace over 1400m which wouldn’t play into his hands.”

Fradd said he had concerns with the track conditions prior to the race but was able to get out wider into the better going.

Grant’s Success is a six-year-old son of Spinning World from the What A Guest mare Lady Guest. Sunday’s victory was his seventh in 27 starts and took his prizemoney to around the $490,000 mark.
