SUPER EASY passed his toughest test yet with a gutsy win in the Group 3 S$200,000 Jumbo Jet Trophy over 1400m at Kranji here, stretching his unbeaten run in Singapore to 12.

His winning run matched that of BETTER THAN EVER who went through the winning sequence in 2009 and 2010.

SUPER EASY, who made a clean sweep of the three-year-old series earlier in the year, was up against an elite field of horses that included the Group 1 KrisFlyer International Sprint winner ATO and last year's Jumbo Jet Trophy winner CAPTAIN OBVIOUS.

But SUPER EASY, partnered by regular rider Joao Moreira, was equalled to the task. After tracking CAPTAIN OBVIOUS and ATO early, the gelding had a to dig deep to beat CAPTAIN OBVIOUS by half a length while ATO surprisingly faded towards the end.

"I was a bit worried he wasn’t going to get CAPTAIN OBVIOUS,” said trainer Michael Freedman. “I thought we were going to run second to a good, tough old sprinter."

"He’s a once in a lifetime horse."
