He will be one of the last horses to compete at the legendary Kranji Racecourse, and Lim Saltoro could also be the last Singapore-trained horse to compete at the Longines Hong Kong International Raceway (HKIR). Lim’s Saltoro will compete in the final of the prestigious Singapore Gold Cup this Saturday, marking the end of more than 180 years of competition in the Lion City. When the government reclaimed Kranji for redevelopment last June, it was announced that sports were over in the city.
The Gold Cup is the ultimate final for many riders, but Lim Saltoro’s outstanding performance allowed trainer Dan Meagher to focus on Sha Tin. Director Lim’s Saltoro, which has achieved the Triple Crown for four consecutive years, is well connected.
A cool, quiet ride and a battle of high notes at the end. A cool, quiet ride and a battle of high notes at the end.

If all goes well this Saturday, Lim Saltoro could end his two-race campaign in Hong Kong, heading to Australia, which could be part of Meagher’s new Pakenham training complex, which is expected to opens in mid-December.
