The main event of the afternoon, the Phumelela Gaming & Leisure Trophy, brought racegoers to the edge of their seats when two horses, the top-weight SUPER WINNER and lightweight LASER STORM went to the line lock together.

The photo could not separate them and  dead-heat was declared in the Kranji Stakes A event over 1200m event on the polytrack.

SUPER WINNER, with 10 wins in 17 starts, ooked a certainty beaten when held up for a run in the home stretch. But then apprentice Wong Chin Chuen, who rode a double yesterday rode his luck when he pushed LASER STORM clear and just held on to his lead.

"I’m very happy with his run today. To come back with 59.5kgs after he got smashed a few metres from the winning post was just outstanding," said Theo Kaiser, trainer of SUPER WINNER.

"On the line, I actually thought I ran second and even said ‘well done’ to Antonio. I was so happy when I returned to scales and saw it was a dead-heat,” said Wong.

Wong rode two outright winners, SUN DANCE and SATELLITE MAN, to record his best afternoon at Kranji since moving from Malaysia to ride in Singapore last year.
