Military Attack overwhelms Singapore Cup rivals

Hong Kong’s domination of Singapore’s most prestigious meeting of the year was completed when John Moore posted a magnificent one-two after Military Attack was chased home by stablemate Dan Excel in the Singapore Airlines International Cup at Kranji yesterday.

In a renewal considered one of the best in its history, Military Attack and Zac Purton turned the mile-and-a-quarter Group One into a procession as he came home three and a quarter lengths ahead of Dan Excel, who deprived Mawingo of second place by a head.

Moore now has a burning desire to plunder one of the most famous races in his homeland.
