Winners Flow in Singapore

12 August 2013

New Zealand Bloodstock graduates have enjoyed a successful weekend in Singapore, taking out nine races over two race meetings held at Kranji.

Friday night saw four Karaka graduates booted home on the 10 race program including Bogart (NZ), a fledgling son Darci Brahma.

Trained by Michael Freedman, Bogart started the race as favourite and took full advantage of his light weight to draw away for a decisive one-and-a-quarter-length victory. The recently turned three-year-old appears to have a bright future ahead of him after winning two of his first three starts.

Dragon Flight (Postponed) scored his first win at his second start over 1100m on the same night that experienced campaigner Ninth Avenue (Quorum) scored his seventh career victory. The consistent Cavallo (Testa Rossa) recorded his fourth race win as he broke 59 seconds for the 1000m, the four-year-old has only missed a place twice from his 12 starts to date.

Sunday night saw half of the 10 race card won by Karaka graduates.

Dr Octopus (Perfectly Ready) scored his first career victory at his fifth raceday start, winning over 1000m for New Zealand trainer Mark Walker.

The well-related Bigcat Rhapsody (Darci Brahma) was victorious over 1900m to record his second career win from five starts. The son of Darci Brahma is out of multiple black-type winnerThe Lions Roar (Western Symphony) and is a half-brother to two stakes winners, Growl (Montjeu) and Leeu (Volksraad).

Other winners on the night included Inspire (Keeper) in the second race of the card while South Island Sale graduate Bourbon Goldman (Gallant Guru) proved too strong over 1200m and Terminator (One Cool Cat) saluted in the Class 3 Handicap over 1200m.
