South African born rider Robbie Fradd will
become a regular sight at Kranji in 2007, after the Singapore Turf Club
granted him a six-month freelance licence.
Fradd, 42, has accomplished much throughout his career with over 2000
winners to his name.
For the last 10 years he has been based in Hong Kong where he achieved
notable success including the Jockey’s Premiership in 1999/2000 when he rode
74 winners.
Fradd enjoyed a very successful partnership with Fairy King Prawn, the first
Hong Kong-trained horse ever to taste Group One success overseas, when they
combined to win the 2000 Yasuda Kinen.
He also won the Hong Kong Derby on Keen Winner in 2000 and the Stewards’ Cup
on Electronic Unicorn in 2002.
“I won the Singapore Derby on Our Falstaff for Patrick Shaw earlier this
year and I really enjoyed the place.
It’s a completely different set-up to Hong Kong and it will be a good
lifestyle change. I’m looking forward to riding there on a regular basis.”
Fradd said.
Fradd will commence riding in Singapore after the Hong Kong International
meeting on Dec 10 and his riding weight will be 52kgs.  |
