Opportunities to Race
Horses for Sale
We have been very fortunate in our time in Singapore to have purchased and trained some exceptionally good horses. In the last few years we have purchased the 2014 / 2016 Champion Sprinter, 2015 Horse of the Year, 2016 Horse of the Year, 2013 Champion 3yo and 2016 Champion 3yo, 2019 Champion 2 year old and 4 year old. Add to this in the last few racing seasons we have won a host of the Group races in Singapore. Importantly our purchases have won just over 300 races in Singapore. In the past few season’s Cliff has charted five different horses to Group 1 Glory, with Debt Collector, Zac Spirit and Gilt Complex multiple Group 1 winners, as well as Laughing Gravy a cheap purchases after 2 starts in Australia. Most recently Inferno won the Group 1 Singapore Guineas, and Singapore’s premier sprint the Group 1 Lion City Cup. No other stable in Singapore comes close to matching this achievement.
Season 2019 was another feature race bonaza with the stable winning 5 feature races and placings in most of the others. In 2020 that feature race success rolls on:
Group 1 2020 Lion City Cup Winner INFERNO (A NZB 2018 Yearling Purchase)
Group 1 2020 Singapore Guineas Winner INFERNO
Group 2 2020 Singapore Classic Winner INFERNO
Group 2 Aushorse Golden Horseshoe Winner: INFERNO
Season 2019 feature race winners:
Group 2 Steward’s Cup Winner: WHAT’S NEW
Group 3 Silver Bowl Winner: WHAT’S NEW
Group 2 Chairman’s Trophy Winner: DEBT COLLECTOR
Group 3 Moonbeam Vase Winner: ELITE EXCALIBUR
Very simply, if you want to race in and win feature races in Singapore, you should have a horse in the Cliff Brown Stable. But don’t take our word for it, take a look at the Singapore Turf Club website, and compare the trainer profiles. Whilst other stables may boast trainers premierships, compare the number of feature race winners and trainer’s strike rates and make up your own mind!!
Our recent purchases now racing in Singapore are flying:
Bluestone (HallowedCrown/Riptrice) a $40,000 has had 4 wins and $166,000 in stakes from his 11 Singapore starts.
Inferno (Holy Roman Emporer/Spina Rosa) a $140,000 yearling purchase form NZB 2018 Karaka Sale, looks to be the new star of Singapore racing adding the Singapore Classic, Group 1 Guineas and Group 1 Lion City Cup in 2020 to his 2019 feature race wins the Group 2 Aushorse Golden Horseshoe, and Group 3 Sass Fee Stakes for three year olds.
Atlas, a $50,000 NZB yearling purchase won on debut in Singapore on 22nd September and made it two from two on November 1st in a class 4 over 1200m.
We are once again heading into 2021 Yearling Sales with plenty of optimism when purchasing future horses for the stable.
