Australian jockey Stephen Baster recorded his first quadruple at Kranji today, thanks to a superb hat-trick early in the programme and a stylish win by the promising TERMINATOR.

After notching up three wins and two placings from his first five runs on the polytrack, TERMINATOR (One Cool Cat - Indent by Pompeii Court) finished down the field when tested for the first time on the turf last month.

Back to racing on the polytrack today, the NZ$45,000 yearling purchase bounced back to winning form to win by one and three-quarter lengths.

Baster, who had twice landed a treble this year, had earlier won three consecutive races on CAVALLO (Testa Rossa - Indovina by Elusive Quality), THE BIG DEE (Choisir - Lin O'Dee by Euclase) and D'CREATOR (Stravinsky - Radio Sky).

Steven Burridge, who trains THE BIG DEE and D'CREATOR, now leads the trainer's table on 48 wins, just one ahead of Laurie Laxon and Leslie Khoo who did not saddle a winner today.
