SHADOW GATE scored a magnificent win in the S$3m Singapore Airlines International Cup at Kranji tonight, denying COSMO BULK a second consecutive win in the Group 1 event.

COSMO BULK became the first horse from Japan to win the 2000m race last year but it took another runner from the land of the rising sun to beat him tonight.

France's DOCTOR DINO finished third with SETEMBRO CHOVE finishing best of the local contingent.

It was the second quinella by Japan in an international Group 1 event in six months, after the Delta Blues and Pop Rock 1-2 in the Melbourne Cup last November.
