Since winning the Group 3 Polytrack Mile Championship last March — his third success at Group 3 level — FLYING FULTON has to endure three second-place finishes in four starts since.

But his luck changed tonight when he easily accounted for his rivals in the S$150,000 Yee Tee Classic Stakes over 1800m on the polytrack at Kranji tonight.

With Jose Verenzuela in the saddle, FLYING FULTON (Flying Spur - Fulton by Zabeel) tracked the early pacemaker FLYING WEST — his conqueror two starts back — till the home bend before cruising oast the leader and cleared away to win by three and a quarter lengths.

BLACK ICE finished strongly to beat FLYING WEST for second placing.

"We’ve had a lot of seconds with him. It’s been frustrating and I’m glad for the team we’ve been able to make him win tonight," said trainer Mark Walker of his charge who has now won eight times in 28 starts in Singapore including five wins in the polytrack.

The New Zealand five-year-old also started 15 times back home for two wins including the listed Great Northern Foal Stakes at Ellerslie.
