Local rider dominated the card at Kranji here tonight when they captured the first seven races, before Daniel Moor salvaged some pride for the expatriates taking the last race on YULONG FAST STEED.

Apprentice Joseph See rode his first winner since 2015 after serving a one-year disqualification, and then spent time on the sidelines before he regained in licence last April.

See brought BASILISK from well off the pace to win the opening event for th gelding's second win in 24 starts.

"I’m speechless. It’s been frustrating as I’ve had seven seconds before tonight ," said See who rode 22 winners in 2015 and 21 the season before.

"I went out tonight on that horse with a heavy heart as I knew he had a good chance, and I didn’t want to lose again. I was feeling a bit discouraged, but I was still hopeful."


Six other local riders also made it to the score-sheet with trainer Desmond Koh the only double winner, saddling COMING THROUGH (Noh Senari) to win first first-up, and NORTHERN SUN (Wong Chin Chuen) a comeback win, after the gelding's two wins in late 2017.
