MR BIG (Elusive Quality - Basamaat by Danehill) loomed large with a stylish win in the S$200,000 Magic Millions Juvenile Championship over 1200m at Kranji here today to stay unbeaten in three starts.

Ridden by Danny Beasley, the Australian gelding broke well from barrier 10 and took the early lead. He then settled second behind KAISER who took up the running before clearing away in the straight to win the Group 3 event by one and a half lengths.

His win today came on the heels of his narrow victory in the Group 2 Aushorse Golden Horseshoe in May.

"It’s a great honour for me to win the Juvenile Championship. Over the years, we’ve seen many top horses win that race and let’s hope this one (MR BIG) goes on to similar feats,” said trainer Michael Freedman.

Purchased for just $21,000 as a yearling, MR BIG brought his earnings to $320,000.
