No Excuse Needed in Singapore for Excellent Beauty

5 December 2011

No Excuse Needed’s daughter Excellent Beauty dished out a sweet galloping lesson on Singapore’s polytrack at last night.

Away swiftly in the class 5 event over 1200m, the Little Avondale Trust-bred 5YO went straight to the front and waved good-bye thereafter, pinching a break at the home-turn and sailing home for a 2.5 length win.

Conditioned by Chua Choon Bok, Excellent Beauty has won three for owner Kelvin’s Stable, earning A$128,746 in the process.

She is out of the unraced Desert Prince mare Chatto Creek, who hails from the Gr.1 family of Legs, Sixty Seconds, Guyno and He’s Remarkable.
