Verenzuela outshines Moreira with four wins

SINGAPORE:  Sep 30, 2011

South American jockeys hogged the limelight at Kranji tonight when Joao Moreira and Jose Verenzuela won seven races between them.

Moreira, who has already smashed his own riding record of 116 winners set last year, added three more wins to his name when successful on  VERSAILLES PALACE (Grand Slam - Maltese Lovers by Thunder Gulch), EL MILAGRO (Red Dazzler - Vinzky by Stravinsky) and PRIMERA ESPADA (Stromberg Carlson - Aback by Marauding) to being his tally to 126 for the season.

But Venezuela-born Verenzuela outshone the champion when he booted home four winners from just six rides.

Verenzuela, who scored in his very first ride in Singapore on DR GRIGOROS back in March, kicked off his winning run with SUPREME GENERAL (French Deputy - Lavishly by Sunday Silence) and scored again in his next ride on INCREDIBLE SON (Whywhywhy - Gulley by Gulch).

Verenzuela then made full use of his chance ride on SAMURAI KID (King Cugat - Estee Etoile by Last Tycoon) before signing off the evening on BOMBAATA (Stravinsky - Final Leica by Sir Tristram).
