While the focus will be on Hong Kong and Kenilworth, there are some decent races from Singapore on Sunday and the meeting finishes with some good punting races…
Some good races on Friday should keep all and sundry more than interested
Where to start? At the top I guess with the Gr1 Lion City Cup taking centre stage on a day that is a virtual full-house of features.
With three Group races scheduled for Sunday, it’s safe to say that Friday nights racing at Kranji is more of an entree than a main course.
The quick double for BSA graduates highlighted the tremendous value for money that can be found in South Africa
One horse that came to Singapore with the Derby well and truly in mind is a two-time UK winner in SMILESWITHHISEYES.
It’s fair to say SLEW OF LOAD goes better than most. After being beaten at his Singapore debut he has won his next 3 – all over 1200m.
A couple of Singapore’s finest in STEPITUP and SUPER NINETYSEVEN headline the
JBBA Moonbeam Vase
The 3YO Championship gets underway today with the Gr3 3YO Sprint and an undercard that includes a cracking Kranji Stakes A over 1400m.
While things get serious on the track with Group racing for the 3YOs on Sunday, Fridays card has more than enough to keep punters interested
Any punter will tell you Sunday looks a very tough day. It may be case of watching some good races and nice horses with value on the agenda.
The number of entries compares favourably in quantum with recent years, with 58 first entries received in 2024, 60 in 2023, 68 in 2022, 53 in 2021, 52 in 2020, 49 in 2019, and 69 in 2018
Ironically, it was a colt which provided Alan with a first Gr1 success, this being Alec and Gillian Foster’s homebred Cereus, who landed the 2001 Gold Cup at Hollywoodbets Greyville, his victory completing a momentous double on the day, with the Gr2 Golden Slipper having gone the way of juvenile filly Tatler, a great-great-great grandaughter of Sun Lass!
JP van der Merwe is not the only guilty party in the matter. In simple terms, he is the only rider to have exercised the NHA’s offer of an Acknowledgement Of Guilt and moved on with his life
Andrew Fortune made it three winners on the Family Day public holiday as Tenango breezed home to win the Gr3 feature
