Trainer Michael Freedman had a sense of immense personal pride following the last-to-first victory of Tropaios in the Group 1 $1.35 million Longines Singapore Gold Cup over 2200m on Sunday.

For a change, there was hardly a glum face at the Post Position Draw for Sunday’s $1.35 million Group 1 Longines Singapore Gold Cup (2200m) on Thursday morning.

Smart stayer Cannon Hill needed every centimetre of the $75,000 Kranji Stakes C over 2200m on Sunday.

Trainer Sonny Yeoh came to Kranji with only two runners, booked jockey Ivaldo Santana on both, and went home with a perfect score after both Magical Talent and Dynamic Venture saluted on Friday night.
