LAXON CLAIMS 6TH CONSECUTIVE PREMIERSHIP TITLE (courtesy of NZTM)
NZ-bred galloper Pacino (NZ) takes Laxon's tally to 95 for 2009. Champion trainer Laurie Laxon lifted his sixth consecutive Singapore Trainers' Premiership title on Sunday, with a 2009 season tally of 95 wins.
Appropriately it was the NZ-bred galloper Pacino (NZ) (Shinko King) who brought Laxon's prolific season to an end, with the former Melbourne Cup trainer having saddled the Class 4 winner in Big Minako (NZ) (Black Minnaloushe) earlier in the night. "It's been a great season for me. I'm very happy with the way things have turned out, never mind the century," said Laxon to the Singapore Turf Club. "Of course it helps to have horses like Ace Aliado, who by himself won seven races, and of course Better Than Ever. "It's again been a wonderful team effort, not to mention the support of our owners who invest a lot of their time and money in quality horses."
One of Laxon's stand-out performers this season has been the Towkay four-year-old Ace Aliado (NZ), who has won all of his seven starts since January 18 2009.
