Huka Falls back on song with Trophy win

SINGAPORE:  Aug 24, 2014

HUKA FALLS has won just once since Joao Moreira rode him to victory in an open handicap on the polytrack almost exactly a year ago on Aug 23 last year.

His recent form has not been inspiring but the partnership with Moreira today seemed to bring back the spark in the five-year-old when they romped to victory in the Jockey Club of Turkey Trophy, an open handicap over 1200m on the polytrack at Kranji here today.

Moreira had won eight times on the New Zealand gelding and the perfect understanding showed they got home one and a quarter lengths ahead of ITALIAN JOB.

"He’s a beautiful-looking horse and has always had good galloping ability. Joao knows him well as he’s won on him a few times – I just wished he was here all the time!," said trainer Laurie Laxon.

HUKA FALLS has now won 11 of 24 starts.

Moreira, who kicked off his two-week stint in Singapore with a treble on Friday evening, bettered the score with four winners this afternoon.

"A treble on Friday, four winners today, I couldn’t be happier with the way things have gone for me so far," said the four-time Singapore champion jockey who is making a name for himself on Hong Kong now.
