It was the end of a long lane form Singapore lass Seow Poh Hui, also known as Jerlyn, when she finally booted home her first winner in the War Affair Stakes, the Class 3 handicap over 1600m on the polytrack, at Kranji here today.

Seow took AXEL to the front on settling down and was never headed, although SPIRIT OF BIG BANG came close in the closing stages. But AXEL held on to win by half a length.

"It’s been frustrating to get so many seconds, 11! But I never gave up, I was never discouraged, even if sometimes, I do get scared, but I just keep learning as much as I can," said Seow. "I have to thank a lot of the jockeys who helped me with their advice."

"I normally ride this horse from the back, but today, we went forward. I was able to give him a breather, and he was very relaxed." AXEL was her 71st ride.

Seow rode and was placed in all AXEL’s last three starts. The New Zealand gelding has now picked up five wins in 35 starts.
