Lim's Kosciuszko

| LIM'S KOSCIUSZKO battles to victory in
the Singapore Derby - SNTC photo |
|
|
|
Despite eight wins in 11 starts to
his name, LIM'S KOSCIUSZKO has yet to win a group race. Both his trainer and
jockey Dan Meagher and jockey Danny Beasley have not won the Singapore Derby
in all the years they have been plying their trade at Kranji.
All that changed today when LIM'S KOSCIUSZKO, using a crossover noseband
after his defeats in his last three starts, fought his way to victory in the
Singapore Group 1 over 1800m.
The Australian gelding enjoyed the run of the race in second spot behind the
pacemaker CON SPERANZA who held on to his advantage till less 100m out.
At this stage SUPER IMPACT was about to make his presence felt and just then
RELENTLESS, who was denied a run from the top of the straight, finally
managed to find a gap to after the leaders.
RELENTLESS, winner of the Stewards' Cup (1400m) three weeks ago when he beat
LIM'S KOSCIUSZKO, was "flying" at the finish but the winning came too soon.
LIM'S KOSCIUSZKO won by a head with SUPER IMPACT a neck away third.
"Danny rode him beautifully," said Meagher. "We’ve been
trying to get him settle in his trackwork, it’s been a bit difficult but
teamwork makes the dream come true, it's fantastic."
