AGENT OF SPEED ran his rivals off their feet to record a spectacular upset in the Class 3 - 1200m sprint at Kranji here tonight.

Ridden by apprentice Steven Li, the Australian five-year-old led from start to finish to win by two and a quarter lengths to pay S$755 for a win.

Winner of two races in Australia, AGENT OF SPEED (Blackfriars - Super Women by Scenic) registered his second win in Singapore last February when he accounted for a Class 3 field over 1400m.

He has been tried over longer trips since then without any success, which was perhaps why he was neglected in the betting. Besides, punters went solidly behind ONE MORE MINUTE who had three wins and a second in four starts coming into tonight's race. The odds-on favourite, however, managed only fourth.
