Superv eyes second jewel of Triple Crown
SUPERV, long shot winner of the first leg of the Philippine Racing Commission’s Triple Crown series this year, goes for a repeat victory in the second leg set today at Philippine Racing Club’s Santa Ana Park in Naic, Cavite.
The second leg of the series for elite local-bred three-year-old thoroughbreds is held in honor of the late Tarlac congressman Enrique Cojuangco Sr., a longtime horseowner and breeder, who died recently.
The 11 other entries out to foil Superv’s bid in the 1,800m event are colts Breaking Bad, Cat Express, Diamond’s Best, Incredible Hook, Magnetism, Money Talks, Sky Hook and Wanderlust and fillies Court of Honor, Driven and Princess Meili.
