Velocity coasts to quick success at Kranji

SINGAPORE: Nov, 2010

VELOCITY coasting to his maiden win in Singapore - SNTC photo

VELOCITY, who managed just one win in 15 starts in Ireland, has picked up his first win in Singapore in just his second start at Kranji in the Class 4, Div 2 - 1200m sprint here tonight.

After an eye-catching fourth in his debut last month, the English four-year-old stepped up on that effort to win by 1 3/4 lengths from last-start winner RISE THE LIMIT and the favourite LADY TRIO.

After two seasons of campaign, VELOCITY (Mark Of Esteem - Yellow Ribbon by Hamas) was sold for €12,500 at the Goffs Horses In Training Sale. And he is quickly paying dividends at his new 'home'.

And already proving to a money-spinner in Singapore is MR TIMELY who chalked up his fifth win from 10 starts at Kranji in the Benchmark 97 - 1200m handicap.

MR TIMELY (Street Cry - Snowcisco by Machiavellian) raced thrice for a win in soft going in Australia and relished the wet condition tonight to score, although three of his previous wins had been on the polytrack.
