Oscar Chavez, whose licence has not been renewed for the 2018 season, is making most of the remaining days he has left in Singapore.

The Panamanian-born jockey followed up on his treble on Friday night to land two winners at Kranji here today: WHITE COFFEE and XIONG FONG.

Ten-year-old WHITE COFFEE returned to the winner's circle after almost 11 months in opening race to land his 11th win in 83 starts at Kranji, after having won once in five starts in Australia.

The naturalised Singaporean rider then took XIONG FONG straight to the front in the Class 4, Div 2 - 1200m handicap which was run in heavy rain and was rewarded with a handsome win.

"WHITE COFFEE is old but he wins every now and then. As for XIONG FONG, he fell down at the stables after his last run, and I’m glad he’s bounced back," said Alwin Tan who trains both horses.

The 2017 Singapore racing season concludes this weekend.
