Debut win for Tzar and One More Minute

SINGAPORE: June 19, 2011

ONE MORE MINUTE is hardly extended in his debut win - SNTC photo

TZAR

Expensive import TZAR showed just why he was valued so highly when he scored a debut in the Restricted Maiden - 1100m sprint on the polytrack at Kranji here today, just days after EMMA Stable bought the gelding from his previous owner.

However, it was another newcomer, ONE MORE MINUTE, who stole the thunder with a runaway victory in another Restricted Maiden event over 1200m on turf.

TZAR, who cost A$15,000 as a yearling, was sold for A$180,000 as a two-year-old at the Horses In Training Sale just a few months later.

Ridden by Barend Vorster, TZAR (Gonski - Blazing Sky by Hurricane Sky) was always travelling well and won comfortably by one length.

ONE MORE MINUTE (Iglesia - Just A Tick by Semiplalatinsk), who cost $42,000 as a yearling, ran his rivals off their feet, leading throughout to win by five lengths.
