Moreira on fire with six winners

SINGAPORE:  Aug 7, 2011

The season just got better and better for champion Joao Moreira.

His first six-timer from eight rides at Kranji today brought his tally to 84 for the season and he is well on his way to breaking his own record of 116 winners he set last year.

"I am just so glad to be on top of so many good horses,” said the modest Brazilian. “I just have to thank all those people who have supported me throughout the year.”

Moreira started the day with a 'bang' on FUKU'S PET (No Excuse Needed - Little Gem by Night Shift)  who broke the duck in his 18 outing before guiding newcomer SUPER EASY (Darci Brahma - Parfore by Gold Brose) to a runaway win.

SUPER EASY, who notched a win at at Trentham in three starts in New Zealand, was also third in the Group 3 Eclipse Stakes at Elleslie and fourth in the NZ$1mil Karaka Million. Moreira was full of praise for the three-year-old after the victory.

Moreira signed off the day with back-to-back wins on  DEJAYAL (Thorn Park - Golden Bridge by Gold Brose) and WON'T STOP (Testa Rossa - No Say by Celestial Dancer). Surely there is no stopping him from another championship title.
