ASIF IT COULDN'T GET ANY BETTER
Champion jockey Manoel Nunes was still playing it safe about a sixth title, even after a hat-trick took him three wins clear at the top of the log on Sept 28.

Tied with fellow Brazilian Bruno Queiroz going into Singapore's penultimate meeting – not for just the 2024 season, but for its whole 182-year racing history – Nunes now holds what could be a decisive margin after he scored three goals on Elliot Ness, Star Victory and Asif against zero for Queiroz.

“There's still one meeting to go. Anything can happen,” said a prudent Nunes.

“Every week, Bruno and I have been fighting for the title, and it sure helps to have some breathing space. I thought I had some decent chances today, and could get at least one or two winners.

“But it all depends what rides we get for the last meeting. I am not beyond reach.”
