Jockey Peter Lao Weng Hong landed his first win since making a comeback to race riding in July last year when successful on SUPER SIX in the Class 4, Div 3 - 1200m on the polytrack at Kranji here today.

The Macau-born rider has in fact gone seven years without a win, during which time injury forced him out of the saddle from 2008 until his comeback last year.

"I am really happy to win again after such a long time," Lao said simply.

When Lao rode SUPER SIX in his last start, they finished second last, which probably explained why the gelding started at long odds today, returning a dividend of $138.

"This horse has improved a lot from his last start and the distance suits him," Lao said. It was just the second win in 24 starts for SUPER SIX.

Lao's association with Singapore went back to 1996 when he first rode at Bukit Timah and won the Queen Elizabeth II Cup and Raffles Cup that year on the Charles Leck-trained EMERALD ISLES.

At Kranji, Lao was in the Patron’s Bowl (BON AMIE in 2002) and the Kranji Mile (PACIFIC PRINCE) both in 2002.
