Out of the seven trainers in the $110,000 Group 3 Singapore Three-Year-Old Sprint (1,200m) on April 6, only two are on the honour roll.
Tim Fitzsimmons and Donna Logan won that feature as the first leg of the Singapore Three-YearOld Challenge with Golden Monkey (2022) and January (2023) respectively.
Sadly, the famed series is discontinued at Singapore's farewell 2024 season but the three legs - other two are the Group 2 Singapore
Three-Year-Old Classic (1,400m) on April 27 and the Group 2 Singapore Guineas (1,600m) on May 18 are still run as standalone features.
Despite there being no bonus up for grabs for winning two legs or all three, Kranji trainers still refer to them as the "3YO series".
In 2022, Golden Monkey pulled off a "Double Crown" of sorts in the Sprint and Classic, given the Guineas was in abeyance.
In 2023, it is a moot point whether Coin Toss could have become the last Triple Crown winner since the great War Affair in 2014.
The son of Flying Artie became collateral damage as part of the five-horse squad withdrawn on Sprint day following trainer Michael Clements' positive morphine cases. He went on to win the Classic and the reinstated Guineas.
