Happy Money lands prize in RDA Cup

SINGAPORE:  Dec 7, 2014

Fast-improving HAPPY MONEY passed his biggest test yet when he carved out a narrow win in the RDA Cup, a set-weight event over 1200m on the polytrack at Kranji here today.

Ridden by Danny Beasley, the Australian four-year-old came from just off the pace to beat the 11-time winner GOAL KEEPER (who won the Paititi Gold Trophy this year, with the 12-time winner HUKA FALLS in third place.

HAPPY MONEY has now won seven times in 12 starts and was one of four winners for trainer Alwin Tan who is now just two wins behind leading trainer Laurie Laxon.

With just two racing days left in the 2014 Singapore season, Tan is making a late bid for the title. Tan is the clear leader in the early part of the season but was overtaken by Laxon who had a clear lead till a couple of weeks ago.

The final weekend of racing next week will be nail-biting for both nine-time Singapore champion Laxon and Tan who is enjoying his best season yet and bidding for his first title.
