Drama In Singapore
Former Victorian sprinter Sun Dream came off the lucky beneficiary and survivor of a drama-packed Race 3 where nearly half the field nearly got wiped out on Sunday. The scary-looking incident occurred barely 100m into the $60,000 Magneto 2014 Stakes, a Class 4 race over 1100m on Polytrack when Double Cash (Mohd Zaki) came crossing too quickly from his wide barrier, smashing against four runners on his inside, favourite Safeer (Oscar Chavez), Gran Torino (Olivier Placais), Satellite Man (Peter Ho), Luminiff Lad (Chan Wei Sheng) and Lively Dragon (Pregasam Dellorto). Amidst all the chaos, one horse was able to steer clear of trouble – Sun Dream, who was known as China Dream in Melbourne where he registered one solitary win over 1200m at Pakenham at his second last start before being shipped to Singapore for owner Cheng Ting Kong and trainer Desmond Koh.
