Jay Peg Rated to win. would be great for the SA connections

We are flying over on wed.....maybe another fairytale...he travelled well and is in good shape.

Good luck to you (Puffin), Paul and the rest of the connections. It would be great to see the connections going crazy again. You will definitely have me shouting at the TV again.

Can anyone advise what time SA the race will run?

Draws only thurs lunchtime so will have times after that, heard around 8pm or 8.30pm Singapore time.....watch sahorseracing.com.for details.
Paul,Marsh,Selwyn and Basil coming over ....

All the best Puffin, try and keep some money for Aus? lol. [ lots of lolly ]

All the best Puffin !!

BRITAIN'S two challengers have touched down in Singapore ready for Sunday's big international meeting at Kranji.

The Jane Chapple-Hyam-trained Traffic Guard contests the main event, the Singapore Airlines International Cup, where he will be ridden by John Egan, while Royston Ffrench does the honours for Mark Johnston on Lovelace in the KrisFlyer Sprint.

However, both horses will face stiff tasks in their respective contests. A likely maximum field of 16 for the SIA Cup, worth S$3m (£1.12m) is set to include Dubai Duty Free winner Jay Peg, New Zealand's multiple Group 1 winner Sir Slick and Japan's Cosmo Bulk, first and second in the last two runnings.

Lovelace's task in the S$1m sprint looks even tougher as the field is set to include two of the world's best in Hong Kong's Absolute Champion, world champion sprinter in 2006, and Royal Ascot regular Takeover Target, plus Universal Ruler, the top sprinter in Western Australia and Magnus, who also ran at Ascot last year.

Lovelace, who recorded a four-timer last season, reportedly arrived in Singapore in the early hours of Monday morning after an uneventful trip, while Traffic Guard touched down on Friday.

“He's settled in brilliantly,” said Tom Kelly travelling foreman for Jane Chapple-Hyam.

“He's been to Dubai and he's used to this sort of weather.”

Absolute Champion was given the go-ahead after a foot abscess that came to light last week. Trainer David Hall said: “Luckily he's a horse that requires a lot of work to get fit. After the training last Tuesday and slow work yesterday, I think he's ready.”
