Tough mare seals last tour de Force with a win

Lim's Force keeping Captain Singapore at bay in the Class 5 Division 1 race on May 12.ST PHOTO: SHAHRIYA YAHAYA Many horses at Kranji face an uncertain future after Singapore racing’s last lap is done and dusted on Oct 5.From a cost and logistical viewpoint, the Malaysian exit strategy would be the favoured option among most owners, especially for those whose trainers are also relocating there.

The search for an easier circuit coupled with the need to make way for new blood at Kranji were the main push factors.However, with an age cap set at seven – up to eight in exceptional cases for high-class horses – on such exports, the only option left for older horses is to be put to pasture. Lim’s Force is not in the same league as those two champions even if she shares the same famous Lim’s Stable navy blue and yellow stars colours.

After overcoming leader Windfall , she had to foil Captain Singapore’s late charge to prevail by a short head.The Malaysian jockey, who now rides out for Meagher after Shane Baertschiger returned to Australia in December, said he just followed instructions from his new boss, without expecting too much.
