A jubilant Richard Lim headed down to the Kranji winner's circle no less than four times on Sept 14.
The local trainer fell one win short of his record of five winners, but new personal bests are not quite a priority with Singapore racing drawing to an end on Oct 5.
The former jockey was more buoyed about the result from his own future career outlook.
He relocates to Sungei Besi in Kuala Lumpur in November, but not all of his 41 horses follow suit.
Sept 14 quartet Legend SixtyThree, Wind Of Dubai, Frenetic Three, Wind Of Dubai, Frenetic and Jin Sakamoto are, however, among the 33 who will still come under his care in the Malaysian capital.
"It was a good day at the office. It's even better when all four winners will also join my stable in KL," said the Penang-born naturalised Singaporean who, in fourth place on 33 wins on the log, is enjoying the best of his three seasons.
"I'm thankful to owners who have decided to stay with me, like the Legacy Power Racing (Legend Sixty-Three and Wind Of Dubai), Fabulous Racing (Frenetic), and especially, Jin Toh (Jin Sakamoto)."
Toh is a first-time owner whom Lim did not know until he rang him out of the blue one day to talk about his dream to own a horse.
