Rising star wins two-horse race between himself and former stablemate Antipodean
-
Despite taking more than two months off, WitnessImpact proved that he is better than ever when he returned to racing and accounted for a top-class field in the RM62,000 (S$18,900) Supreme A Stakes over 1,200m at Sungai Besi on Jan 12.
The set-weight event was billed as a match-up between last season's sensations Antipodean and WitnessImpact, even if it also marked the debut of former Singapore heavyweights Super Salute and Big Hearted.
A winner of nine of his 10 starts when trained by Simon Dunderdale, Antipodean - now trained by Tiang Kim Choi - was the overwhelming odds-on favourite.
His former stablemate WitnessImpact ($14 on the Singapore Pools tote), unbeaten in four runs before he met his match in a Metro A 1,200m event last Oct 26, was the firm second choice in the betting.
Super Salute and Big Hearted also came in for some support with the rest of the 12-horse field starting at long odds.
The race panned out as many expected.
