TOTALITY, who showed promise as a three-year-old last year when he reeled off three consecutive wins, finally realised his potential when taking out the S$200,000 Three Rings Trophy over 1400m at Kranji today.

His hat-trick last year was followed by a splendid second to SUPER EASY in the Group 2 Singapore Three-Year-Old Classic. He then had another six runs with before he was sent for a let-up.

The short spell did wonders for TOTALITY. Ridden by Alan Munro, the New Zealand gelding managed to come from off the pace early to snatch victory from last start winners TOUCH OF GOLD and SAVANNAH DANCER. It was his fourth win in 19 starts.

"He’s always had a huge amount of potential, but we’ve had to teach him to settle back all the time," said trainer Michael Clements. "He was just too strong in his races and I thought I’d just give him a spell. Though he came back fresh, he was a lot more relaxed."

It has been a splendid week for Epsom Derby winning jockey Munro. Last Tuesday, he made a successful trip across the causeway and won the RM500,000 Tunku Gold Cup on REBEL FURY for trainer Shane Edwards in Kuala Lumpur.
