King Louis regains his crown

SINGAPORE:  Sep 4, 2021
 
 
 

KING LOUIS, once holding his own against the best in Singapore, returned to the winner's circle for the first time in nearly three years when he accounted for a Class 4, Div 2 field over 1600m at Kranji here today.

The son of Medaglia D'Oro won the Group 3 El Dorado Classic in 2018, and earlier in the season finished second to MR CLINT in the Group 1 Singapore Guineas and was third to MR YEOH in the Group 2 in the Three-Year-Old Classic.

KING LOUIS came second to I'M INCREDIBLE in the Derby the following year and had been only thrice since before his comeback win today.

Partnered by Marc Lerner who also rode him in the last two runs, the seven-year-old scored by half a length for his fifth win in 44 starts in Singapore.

"I'm just so happy for the horse," said trainer Ricardo le Grange. "Just to see him win again really made my day."

KING LOUIS came to Singapore after winning once in six starts as a juvenile in Australia.
