A quiet year in Cup races for Logan after 2022 S’pore Gold Cup runner-up goes amiss
It is amazing how one year in racing can make a lot of difference.
This time in 2022, trainer Donna Logan was right in the thick of Cup-racing action with either Minister or Super Impact.
Minister can be hit-and-miss, but the 2021 Group 1 Kranji Mile winner was in the right mood in the Group 1 Queen Elizabeth II Cup (1,800m) when third to Prosperous Return.
Five weeks later, the US-bred completely flopped in the Group 1 Singapore Gold Cup (2,00m). But, luckily for Logan, she had Super Impact's second to Hongkong Great to cheer her up.
The two majors return as the last two legs of the reinstated Singapore Triple Crown series in 2023, while the Group 1 Raffles Cup (1,600m) is back as the first leg.
With Minister not mending his roguish ways, and getting transferred to Daniel Meagher, anyway, Logan could still count on Super Impact for a busy 2024.
A solitary Class 3 win in seven starts does not make for eye-popping stats for the New Zealand-bred son of Real Impact.
But two of his three placings came in two iconic races. Other than finishing runner-up in the Singapore Gold Cup, he also ran third to Lim's Kosciuszko in the
Group 1 Singapore Derby (1,800m).
