Moonlite Shower continued the winning international run for Centaur Park Thoroughbreds graduates when he scored impressively in Singapore on Friday night.

A lightly raced three-year-old by in form Queensland based sire Hidden Dragon, Moonlite Shower made it two wins from three starts when he led throughout in the 1000 metre contest.

The gelding, prepared by Don Baertschiger, was stepped back in distance after his previous two runs were over the 1200 metres – for a win and a second placing.

“I thought he was beat, but I don’t think the other horse ever got past him. To his credit, he fought back for a very good win,” Baertschiger said.

“He was coming back in distance and I’ve been wondering if I had done the right thing. But luckily it all worked out all right.”

“Last time out, he also started to look around, stargaze a bit, when he hit the front. That’s why I decided to put the winkers on.”

“He’s only small and he was down in weights tonight. So that played a big part too, but size is going to catch up with him in the long run.”

“He’s a half-brother to Don’t Tell Clang who won the Adrian Knox Stakes (2000m), a Group 3 race.”

“On his first two runs (over 1200m), I would think he can go up to 1400m. So I think there’s a bit of a future here.”

Beasley, who was at his first ride aboard Moonlite Shower, backed Baertschiger’s judgement he could go further.

“He was on a loose rein once he was in front and I tucked him in. For sure he can see out 1400m,” said Beasley.

“He’s a horse with so much natural ability that he just jumps and puts himself in the right spot.

“And he’s such a terrific chaser. When the other horse came up he could feel he was there and I just let him run out to him.”

Baertschiger purchased Moonlite Shower for $110,000 from the draft of Centaur Park Thoroughbreds at last year’s Magic Millions National Horses in Training Sale.

This year’s HIT sale will be held over two sessions on Wednesday and Thursday with an outstanding line up of ready made gallopers to go under the hammer.
