win in six starts - SNTC photo

After a run of five minor placings, including finding one to beat thrice, POSEIDON finally sailed to his maiden win in the Restricted Maiden - 1400m event at Kranji here today.

Ridden by Alan Munro for the second consecutive start, the New Zealand gelding came from just off the pace to beat KELTIC KARMA by half a length.

Munro had to bring POSEIDON out from a pack of horses to mount his challenge.

"He’s a good horse with a good form and I was lucky to get out. The drop from the mile to the 1400m suited him better," said Munro. The pair had finished second in an Initiation event over 1600m four weeks ago.
