Lim’s Prestige – Singapore Derby 2007 winner

By turftycoon On July 17, 2007 No Comments

Just when we thought we were headed for a laborious finish at the business end, a grey flash suddenly shot through the pack like a lightning bolt. It was Din Azis sporting the famous grey and red colours of Lim’s Stable, who had found a gap inside Jade, and wielding the whip like there was no tomorrow, rode his mount out to the line for a famous victory.

This is the quote I took from Singapore Turf Club website … you should watch the video replay. Din Aziz really whips Lim Prestige like no tomorrow. It was a very exciting race except the run by Chevron a bit disappointing. Thought Chevron could lead but … he was slow into stride.

Here is the link to watch the replay for Singapore Derby 2007.

Sand racing for tonight …

Race 1 – 3 Justforhelp looks like hot favourite. Outsider, I am looking at 9 Prince Gold. Hope this 2 year old can fire !

Race 2, got quite a number of front running horse in this field. Veeandvee, Golden Chestnut, Welcome Change and Valiant Master. Personally I like Welcome Change.

Race 3 – 2 Superb Legend seems the best here with Mark Ewe claiming 2kg.

Race 4, I feel that this is a tough race. Prefer to skip. If I were to pick a horse for betting, I will consider Royal Smile.

Race 5, 10 Super Express is a very risky horse. I think he will definitely lead in this race. Since he won before on SAND and place in 1400m, just scared it will lead from pillar to post. Outsider that I like is Sandstorm. He won at MRA 46 points carrying 56.5kg. Now, MRA points is
