El Dorado wins Singapore Gold Cup

SINGAPORE:  Nov 13, 2011
 
EL DORADO staves off the challenge of LIZARRE to win his
third Singapore Gold Cup - SNTC photo

EL DORADO galloped into the history book when he captured the prestigious S$1.35mil Singapore Gold Cup for the third time at Kranji today, and made it perfect three out of three attempts in the 2200m handicap.

The Japanese gelding joins the mighty THREE RINGS (1954, 1956 and 1957) as the only three-time winner of the Gold Cup.

EL DORADO (Stay Gold - White Leap by White Muzzle) recorded back-to-back wins in 2008 and 2009 but missed the race due to injury last year.

Although he has picked up just one win since his second Gold Cup success, EL DOARDO proved he has what it takes to win Singapore's premier handicap event when he defeated the very promising LIZARRE by half-a-length in the rain.

It was also Ronnie Stewart's third win in the Gold Cup having also ridden the gelding in 2008 and 2009, and a fitting 'going away' present for the Australian jockey who leaves Singapore at the end of next month.

"He's the best horse I have ridden," declared Stewart. "If he lines-up next year and I get the chance to come up and ride him then I’ll be here.
