Taurus outsprints
stablemates in Bowl SINGAPORE, 4 June 2006 |
|
TAURUS outshone his more
fancied stablemates to win the S$500,000 Patrons’ Bowl for four-year-olds
over 1400m at Kranji today.
ARENTI, winner of the Lion City Cup last month, was expected to win the
Singapore Group 1 contest and looked the one to beat after he took command
at the 800m after disputing the early lead.
His stablemates TAURUS and LIM’S RANSOM, were well off the pace early but
both came storming home, with TAURUS (gr.a.g Dieu D’or - Chutima by El
Vaquero) on the outside racing away to win from newcomer SETEMBRO GROVE.
LIM’S RANSOM finished third ahead of ARENTI, giving trainer John Meagher a
1-3-4 finish.
Leading trainer Meagher had a double to bring his tally for the season to
40. The Australian earlier saddled SPEC PRINCE (4 ch.a.g Spectrum - Princess
Calera by Western Symphony) to his fifth win in 25 starts.
Second-placed Laurie Laxon, however, took training honours with a treble.
Ron Stewart, who booted home five winners over the last two racing days, had
an exasperating afternoon with five placings, finding one to beat four
times.
