MOST FAVORITE duly obliges in his racing debut - SNTC photo
 

For some reasons, ALWAYS SPECIAL, bred by Jerry Sung of Auric Stable, did not race. But sent to the breeding barn, the daughter of Stravinsky has produced a string of winners, the latest being MOST FAVORITE.

MOST FAVORITE, ridden by Matthew Kellady, started favourite in his racing debut in the Restricted Maiden - 1100m event at Kranji here today and duly obliged with a 3/4-length win.

MOST FAVORITE thus join his siblings JUST NINI, SIMPLE PLEASURES, JELLY BEAN and CREAMY CUSTARD on the winning list in Singapore.

"SIMPLE PLEASURES was the best horse I even trained. Unfortunately, he was a bleeder and he only had a short career here (two wins from six starts),"said trainer Shane Baertschiger. "He was beaten a short head by Stepitup in the first Leg of the 3YO series (Singapore Three-Year-Old Sprint in 2013)."

As for MOST FAVORITE, Baertschiger said: "From Day 1, he showed a lot and he won very well today. He can only improve as he gets more racing experience."
