SUPER WINNER once again lived up to his name with a popular win in the $125,000 Hong Kong Jockey Club Trophy over 1200m on the polytrack at Kranji here today.

With regular rider Soo Khoon Beng in the saddle, the four-year-old settled second behind the pacemaker SOUTHERN BOSS before going on to win by one length from WIMBLEDON in a tight-run race in which only three lengths separate the first seven finishers in the eight-horse field.

SUPER WINNER, who was purchased by trainer Theo Kieser for A$35,000 as a yearling, has now won seven of 10 starts, earning more than $440,000 in prizemoney. His win today was his fourth on the trot after claiming the $250,000 Korea Racing Authority Trophy last start.

"He just does enough, whether it’s in his races or in trackwork, but come raceday, he knows it’s time to race," said Kieser.

SUPER WINNER, who has not won on the turf, will now tackle the Group 3 Garden City Trophy (1200m) on Sep 30 on the turf.

All races today were named after famous landmarks in Hong Kong.
