Singapore Turf Club
Multiple stakes winner and former Singapore Horse of the Year Debt Collector is set to head to Australia where he will join Jim Conlan’s Pinecliff barn.
The former Cliff Brown-trained gelding finished fourth behind Hong Kong raider Southern Legend in the Kranji Mile (1600m) on Saturday and Brown has elected to test his charge in Australia.
"Cliff rang me a couple of weeks ago and was telling me the horse was having a few issues handling the conditions in Singapore," Conlan said.
"I've watched all his replays, he's obviously a fairly talented horse, but it's always a bit of a query how Singapore form will translate in Australia.
“But he's probably the best performed horse to come out of Singapore for a while. It will be exciting to see where he ends up."
Debt Collector was purchased by Brown out of Prima Park’s 2014 New Zealand Bloodstock Ready to Run Sale draft for $120,000.
The son of Thorn Park has gone on to win 12 of his 24 starts in Singapore, including eight at stakes level and more than S$3.1 million in prizemoney.
