Among the 250-odd winners James Peters has trained at Kranji, his two Group successes at his first year of operation in 2016 ranked as his career highlights.
Oddly enough, the English trainer has not reached the same heights as Titanium's Group 2 Stewards' Cup and Spanish Bay's Group 3 Saas Fee Stakes wins since, but average strike rate of 30 winners per season has been more than commendable.
On Sept 7, heading into his last days at the office as a Kranji trainer - like all the other 15 conditioners forced to leave as Singapore racing draws to an end on Oct 5 - the 40year-old enjoyed a rare moment to smile about.
Supreme Liner's first win in a modest $20,000 Maiden race (1,400m) was well deserved after seven placings, but unlikely to make it into any hall of fame.
But, to Peters, the winning photo of the Exceed And Excel four-yearold crossing the line first at his 12th start may well become a family heirloom.
While the Supreme Liner Stable name as the registered owner does not give anything away, the same emerald and golden silks were worn by 2018 Group 2 Chairman's Trophy winner Circuit Land for Ngo Tai Tak.
The Hong Kong businessman is indeed the majority owner of Supremer Liner, but Peters revealed that 10 per cent of the gelding is in the ownership of Colin and Lesley Peters - his parents.
