Singapore's rising star BETTER THAN EVER toyed with the opposition to win the S$350,000 Singapore Three-Year-Old Classic, the second leg of the three-year-old series, in runaway fashion at Kranji here today.

With regular rider Saimee in the saddle, BETTER THAN EVER (French Deputy - Songfest by Unbridled's Song) took command on settling down and had a slight lead going into the straight.

Then he opened up in devastating style in the home stretch to win by seven lengths, proving he is a class above of his class this season and keeping his unbeaten record intact. He has now won all his eight starts.

Trained by Laurie Laxon, BETTER THAN EVER will now go for the Singapore Guineas, the final leg of the triple crown, next month. After winning the first leg, the Three-Year-Old Sprint, the Australian gelding stands of collect a bonus of $150,000 should he win the Guineas.

"He is such a brilliant horse, "said Saimee. "He is definitely one of the best gallopers I have ridden. He just does everything you ask of him. He responds when you ask him for an effort but will relax when you need him to."
