SUPER GOOD: one of Stephen Baster's Singapore win, on Super Good in April.
Baster quickly finds a place at Kranji
words by STEPHEN HOWELL IN SINGAPORE
Australian jockey Stephen Baster has been riding in Singapore since January 20, and in the race for top jockey has quickly found himself behind only Danny Beasley, another Australian but who has been at Kranji for several years - 30 wins to 28 coming into the two big meetings of the Singapore Airlines International Carnival weekend.
The paragraph above is correct, but with a big BUT. And the big BUT is that it ignores the No.1 rider, the biggest fish ever in Singapore's small riding pond, Joao Moreira.
The 28-year-old Brazilian is in a class and race of his own, a runaway leader of the pack with 93 wins and, four-and-a-half months into the season, on target for a 200-plus, even 250-plus, tally after setting a mark of 153 last year.

@MaluaRacing @inkmarksofsu it was my decision… and his fault!
@inkmarksofsu not a good-looking horse by any means, and he "set back" a few of my clients' mares after we used him.
@inkmarksofsu old Fuji … still not my favourite stallion.
@djb_82 @daniel_moor … yes, across the Mersey.
