TORONTO, Canada, (CMC) – Guyana’s Sunny Singh logged a double on Friday’s nine-race card at Woodbine, to extend his recent patch of decent form at the western Canada racetrack.
The 39-year-old opened his account in race five over six furlongs with 15-2 chance Bachelor Pad before returning to win in race seven with 4-1 choice Byebye Byebye in another six furlong sprint.
Singh has recorded six wins from 69 outings in the five-month season which wraps December 13 and is currently led by Justin Stein with 91 wins.
Having missed out in race three with longshot Twomanyshots in his only previous ride, Singh came good two races later with Bachelor Pad, guiding the three-year-old chestnut gelding to a 2-½ length victory over the three-year-olds and upward.
Jersey Diamond led through the half, posting fractions of 22.45 seconds and 45.54 before Singh brought Bachelor Pad from off the pace to hit the front at the sixteenth pole.
Singh was back in the winner’s enclosure when he combined with another three-year-old gelding, Byebye Byebye, to beat the three-year-old and upward maidens by 1-¼ lengths.
Calling Bear forced the pace set by favourite Wild About Blue before Singh emerged from mid-pack with ByeBye Byebye, made his move with a furlong to run and reeled in the leader.
