Arhat on a roll

SINGAPORE: Aug 14, 2016 |

ARHAT (Michael Rodd) storms home to win
for the third consecutive
start - SNTC photo |
|
|
The Michael Rodd-ARHAT partnered
maintained their 100 percent record when they triumphed in the Benchmark 67
- 2000m handicap at Kranji here today.
And with the New Zealand five-year-old improving with every run of late, the
gelding could develop into a serious Gold Cup contender come November.
ARHAT was placed in five of seven starts before Rodd first rode him last
month and the partnership was an immediate hit, winning an Open Maiden
event, then a Kranji Stakes D race.
Today, ARHAT started a firm favourite and produced a powerful finish to beat
the pacemaker LIKA TIGER by 3/4 length, winning drawing away.
AFFLECK returned to the winner's circle for the first time since winning the
Singapore Guineas in May last year when winning the Kranji Stakes A - 1400m
event. It was the gelding's eighth win in 19 starts.
