Super Easy Four from Four

Super Easy Four from Four

The Michael Freedman trained Super Easy has maintained his unbeaten record in Singapore over the weekend with another big win, this time in open company in the $125,000 Kranji Stakes (1200m).

Unbeaten in four starts since going to Singapore, Super Easy (NZ) (Darci Brahma x Parfore) has been making his way through the grades and was given a chance to step up last night and he did not disappoint.

Running just off the pace with champion jockey Joao Moreira in the saddle, the three-year-old never looked troubled in the race as he took the lead in the straight and won by an effortless three lengths.

Group 3 placed behind the dual Group 1 winning filly Anabandana in New Zealand at two, Super Easy was hugely unlucky when running fourth in last year's Karaka Million, and looks destined for bigger things.

"We'll see how he pulls up. I will either give him a break or he'll be going towards the Sgp-2 EW Barker Trophy on November 11," said trainer Michael Freedman.

"He's obviously a very exciting horse though I must say I wasn't sure if I should throw him in at the deep end at only his fourth start.

"But I have so much faith in his ability and thought he deserved to be tested at that level.

"Ideally, I'd like to race him in weight-for-age races in six months. The Krisflyer International Sprint next year could be a long-range goal."

Green Birdie, a graduate of the Karaka Yearling Sales, travelled successfully to Singapore from Hong Kong to win the Group 1 Krisflyer International Sprint in 2010.
