Super Dan hits the 500 mark
Australian jockey Beasley achieves a new milestone in his Kranji career
When you're hot, you're hot.
That best describes jockey Danny Beasley last night.
The bang-in-form Australian not only achieved his 500th Kranji winner, but he also fired a couple more shots in quick succession and then took his tally to 503 with a last-to-first victory in the penultimate race on ABSOLUTE MIRACLE.
Having no ride in the first race, Beasley rode a confident race on CHALAZA in the second event to hit the magical 500-winner mark. Chalaza was a quick improver, stepping up on his debut second only 12 days earlier to score easily.
With abundant luck on his side, Beasley went on to take Races 3 and 4 as well on LIM'S KNIGHT and BAYU respectively for winner 501 and 502.
The 41-year-old was lucky on Lim's Knight. His mount faced an equine wall on straightening. He saw a gap on his right and went for it but it closed. He then switched to his left and his driving finish just got Lim's Knight up to win by a neck.
Beasley brought Bayu with a well-timed run to beat Leon, who appeared to have the race sewen up with a breakaway shortly after the 300m mark.
Beasley arrived at Kranji in 2007, riding 10 winners. He quickly made a name for himself and his best season was 2014 with 83 winners to finish second behind Manoel Nunes. He enjoyed a good share of feature successes, most notably with three Group 1s on War Affair. He did not ride at Kranji in 2015.
"This win means a lot to me as I consider Singapore like home now," said Beasley after Chalaza's victory.
"If not for the support I've received from the trainers and owners here, I wouldn't be where I am at now."
