Trainer Daniel Meagher lands first G1 in Singapore Posted by: Graham Potter+ at 3:49pm on 27/4/2021
Trainer Daniel Meagher landed his first Group 1 win in his own right when Lim’s Lightening took out the Lion City Cup at Kranji in Singapore last Saturday.
Meagher, who was associated with seven Group 1 wins at Kranji when assistant to his Melbourne Cup winning father John Meagher during the families eleven year stint in Singapore, has done wonders with Lim’s Lightening who, as recently as February, had been labelled as being ‘unrideable.’
This was going to be his moment.
Going into the race, Meagher considered Lim’s Lightening to be his first real shot at Group 1 glory since he returned to train in Singapore in 2016 after spending time involved in a training partnership with his father and brother Chris in Australia … but it took a lot of hard work to get Lim’s Lightening into a real Group 1 contender’s position.
