New Zealand Bloodstock’s Ready to Run Sale of Two-Year-Olds celebrated six winners in Asia on Sunday night with three winners coming in both Hong Kong and Singapore.

Karaka graduates won 5 races on the 11 race card in Singapore with Ready to Run graduates City Lad (Elusive City), Drumsara (Pins) and Silveron Warrior (Spartacus) all successful in their races.

Smart three-year-old Silveron Warrior (ex Miss Muga) looked every bit a rising talent for trainer Leslie Khoo taking his third victory from just six starts at Kranji in the Class 4 Stakes over 1600 metres.  He settled just off the speed and proved a class above in the straight, conceding 6kg to his older rivals and racing away to a comfortable one-length victory.

“It’s never easy for the three-year-olds to be giving weight to older horses and win, but this horse was able to do that today,” said Khoo.  “He keeps improving all the time and I am going to continue stepping him up in distance. He’s a handy horse.”

Silveron Warrior is one of a number of up and coming three-year-olds in Singapore that were purchased from New Zealand Bloodstock’s Ready to Run Sale.  Others include Huka Falls (Align), Super Ninetyseven (Show A Heart) and Super Shadow (Darci Brahma) who have all made good starts to their racing careers.

Racing in Hong Kong on Sunday night saw Karaka graduates put in another big showing winning 5 races on the 10 race card with Ready to Run graduates Flying Keeper (Keeper), Hei Hei Posh (Keeper) and Ultimate Winners (Encosta de Lago) all successful.

The Michael Chang trained Ultimate Winners (ex Lake Alexandrina) was a $190,000 purchase from the 2009 Ready to Run Sale and took his third career victory fresh up in Hong Kong last night in the Class 3 Hoi Ping Handicap, running the 1000 metres in 57 seconds.

Cambridge Stud’s sire Keeper celebrated a winning double in the meeting courtesy of Flying Keeper and Hei Hei Posh and he currently sits in fourth place in Hong Kong’s Sires’ Premiership. Keeper has a draft of 14 horses in the 2012 Ready to Run Sale including:

Lot 153:  Half-brother to current Hong Kong performer and stakes winner Aashiq (Viking Ruler) and a brother to Group 2 placed Finderskeepers.

Lot 168:  Colt from the Zabeel mare Kilfenora, a sister to Group 1 winners Champagne and St Reims.
