After a creditable third in his Singapore debut, two-time Argentina Group 1 winner JOHNNY GUITAR quickly showed his credentials to win the Kranji Stakes A event over 1400m at Kranji here today.

Ridden by Barend Vorster, the Lode gelding prevailed in the small but quality field by three-quarter length after being tucked behind the pacemaker till the home stretch.

Among the horses he beat today were Group winners SUPER NINETYSEVEN, TRUDEAU and EL MILAGRO.

JOHNNY GUITAR came to Singapore with a big reputation and the Derby in mind. He started 15 times in his native Argentina for four wins which included the Group 1 G.P. Dos Mil Guineas at the G.P. Estrellas Mile both over 1600m at San Isidro.

He also won a Group 3 event and placed several times in black type races.

"He needed some time to get his conditioning up," said trainer Patrick Shaw, referring to the seven-month gap in his last race in Argentina and his Singapore debut.

"He’s a very exciting horse," added Vorster.
