SINGAPORE: Mar 18, 2023

Trainer Stephen Gray had a superb afternoon at Kranji here today, saddling five winners to bring his Singapore tally to 801.

Gray had to wait until the fifth race to get the ball rolling with TRIBUTO but he quickly followed up in the next two races to win with PRIORITIZE and RETALLICA.

Gray then reached a milestone with his 800th Singapore winner when INFINITE WISDOM captured the Class 5, Div 1 - 1100m sprint on the poly track.

The Australian gelding has not tasted success since winning his debut in 2020 but surprised many with a comfortable win to pay $82 for a win.

Gray then put icing on the cake to take the main event of the day with SILENT IS GOLD in the Class 3 - 1200m handicap.

Winner of three races last year, it was the Australian gelding's first win of the season.

"To be honest, this time last year I was looking at where I was heading," said Gray.

"It has been incredibly tough the last few years – not just for me but all trainers - so just to survive in this industry has been an achievement.

"So 800 winners in Singapore is a big thrill. Not just for me but for my family who have made Singapore their home for the last 23 years or so and supported me from the start."
