Super Easy (NZ) Six from Six in Singapore

30 January 2012

Singapore's exciting three-year-old New Zealand bred sprinter Super Easy (NZ) continued his scintillating form last night in the $125,000 Open Handicap (1200m) taking his sixth consecutive Singapore win.

Not seen in two months since winning the Sgp-2 E.W. Barker Trophy in early November, Super Easy (Darci Brahma x Parfore) and champion jockey Joao Moreira easily put away the field last night by one-and-a-half lengths for trainer Michael Freedman.

Moreira has ridden the son of Darci Brahma in all of his Singapore starts and was impressed with the horse's fresh up performance.

"That is even more impressive. This horse is improving all the time," commented Moreira.

"We were a bit worried he would be a bit fresh after his rest, but he was so relaxed from the start.

"I am looking forward to sticking with this horse as I think he will do pretty well this season."

With trainer Michael Freedman at Karaka for New Zealand Bloodstock's National Yearling Sales, his senior track rider Aimee Barnes hinted at the plans for the horse.

"That was a very impressive win given he was coming back from a spell. He accelerated very well, even though he pricked his ears a little down the straight. He just got there so easily.

"It's hard to say if he's improved since his last prep, but Joao (Moreira) seems to believe he has a little.

"The 3YO series is his main target. We know he can run the 1200 metres and 1400 metres, but we'll have to wait and see if he can go over the mile in the Singapore Guineas."

Super Easy was bred by M J Ryan and was offered by Esker Lodge at the 2010 Karaka Premier Sale where he was purchased by Blue Sky Thoroughbreds for $140,000. Raced by the Joy N Happiness Stable, Super Easy has now taken his stakes earnings to over S$380,000.

Darci Brahma has 65 yearlings in the National Yearling Sales Series, 39 in the Karaka Premier Sale including:

  • Lot 382, the colt from the dual Group 1 Auckland Cup winner Prized Lady (Prized).
  • Lot 141, the half-sister to the Group 3 Doomben Roses winner Awesome Planet (Giant's Causeway), the family of unbeaten Group 1 winning filly Maybe (Galileo) and sire Shinko King (Fairy King).

Esker Lodge has 24 entries in the National Yearling Sales, five in the Karaka Premier Sale including two colts and two fillies by High Chaparral.
