Nothing seems to go wrong for the Daniel Lim's Meagher-Marc LernerStable triumvirate these days. Just one week after the trio bagged the Group 2 EW Barker Trophy with their stable icon and multiple-Group winner Lim's Kosciuszko, their star again shone the brightest on centrestage.
Lim's Bighorn might not boast the same glittering honour roll as his illustrious stablemate, let alone any exposure to Group racing.
But his three wins (maiden to Class 4) from four starts had earned him a well-deserved berth in the $150,000 Group 2 Singapore Three-Year-Old Classic (1,400m) on April 27.
The widest alley in 11 did not help garner admirers, especially as most of his rivals had already proven their 3YO chops in the first leg, the Group 3 Singapore Three-Year-Old Sprint (1,200m) on April 6.
However, Lerner's supremely confident front-running ride probably best sums up the in-form team's Midas touch.
Once the Frenchman had the son of Better Than Ready rolling to the front under his own steam, and skipping two lengths clear going downhill off the first turn, a $25 upset from the "unknown quantity" was on the cards.
Sprint winner and $9 favourite Ace Of Diamonds (Bruno Queiroz) was posted three wide punching the breeze while Bakeel (Manoel Nunes) was smothered up midfield, and travelling better.
