Group winner Starlight not only makes his comeback this weekend, but also his racing debut for trainer James Peters. The 2021 Group 2 Singapore Three-Year-Old Classic (1,400m) winner last ran in June when finishing out of the placings behind King Arthur in a Class 2 event...
Peters was approaching the first-up run with a degree of circumspection, though, especially given the long time away.
A couple of barrier trials brought on the finishing touches, but Peters still expects some ring-rustiness. Michael Freedman’s former assistant trainer is himself struggling to replicate his highly laudable performance from 2022. Peters, who struck out on his own in 2016, did not see any reason to panic, though. To him, racing is cyclical in nature – what goes up must eventually come down.“We had a number of horses who won last year and then top-ended their ratings. They need to get down a little.“They’re a year older and it’s a lot harder for them, like Grand Koonta.”Understandably, like most Kranji trainers in the last couple of years, Peters has not been too busy on the horse sale front.
