It is getting lonely out there at the barrier trials.
But, hey, it is to be expected.
With the shutters about to come down on horse racing on Oct 5, our horse population has taken a dive.
Hence, the low numbers at these Tuesday hit-outs.
There was one test and a trial on Sept 17 and, as always, the horses provided the theatre.
With no one else in the way, Auspicious King and that flashy mare named Delilah, both trained by Leslie Khoo, "starred" by default.
Delilah was involved in a onehorse "test" which she passed with flying colours.
As for Auspicious King, he was having a hit-out which, we reckon, is part of his build-up to his return to racing.
Well, with nothing to spur him on, Auspicious King ran the 1,000m in a sleepy 1min 05.33sec.
Yes, he was not busting a lung but it looked like a good stretch-out and Khoo, the doyen of Kranji trainers, would have been pleased.
If you have lost track of Auspicious King's racing record (his last race was way back on March 9) well, here is a little look-back at his past deeds.
