Details of The Star Ready2Race Sale's three consecutive winners in Singapore on Sunday are:

Big Man (Alamosa x Dr Klaire) was a $90,000 purchase by winning trainer Shane Baertschiger from the draft of Wingara Thoroughbreds at the 2014 The Star Ready2Race Sale.

“He’s a lovely and classy individual with a great turn of foot and I am sure that he will have a bright future here in Singapore,” jockey Barend Vorster said after Big Man’s three length victory.

Twodollarmuppet (Henrythenavigator x Pink Salt) was a $70,000 purchase for owner Sven Johnson from the draft of Hilton Thoroughbreds at the 2013 The Star Ready2Race Sale. The three-year-old has won three races and over S$100,000 in Singapore to date.

Genius (Onemorenomore x Gooniwiggal) rounded out the Ready2Race treble when scoring a smart win over 1100m. The two-year-old was a $34,000 purchase from Muskoka Farm’s draft at the 2014 The Star Ready2Race Sale.

“At the moment, it is still too early to tell how he will develop but I have a feeling he will make a good miler,” said trainer Leslie Khoo after Genius took his earnings past S$150,000.

Genius and Big Man are now being aimed at the S$200,000 Singapore Juvenile Championship over 1200m on Sunday 26 July 2015.
