Big Union completing his hat-trick in a Class 3 1,100m race on the Polytrack on Sept 1. The Jerome Tan-trained galloper will be up against stiff opposition in the Class 1 1,400m turf event on Sept 21. Entered for the main race on Sept 21, it is not going to be a stroll in the park for Big Union.Makin is also in the line-up – and he is fresh from a fourth placing behind Lim’s Saltoro in the Raffles Cup.He is after blood. Sitting on a double, he is looking to make it three from 10 starts.
So it was, as a final act beforethe showdown, he sent his charge out for a piece of work on the trainingtrack. Not out to burn the track, Pinheiro kept him on a good hold and they covered the 600m in a leisurely 45.3sec. However, as it turned out, he was slow out of the gates and was obliged to race wide over most of the trip.That was on July 21 and Tanwasted no time sending him back to the races.Firing from the hip, Big Union made it three in a row – defying a promotion to take out a Class 3 1,200m event on turf on Aug 11 and then making light work of Class 3 rivals again in a 1,100m race on Poly on Sept 1.At just 80 rating points, he looks dwarfed by the likes of Ghalib and company.
Sure, both times he ran second, but he did break theminute-mark in that second run, clocking 59.84sec when losing out to Major King.
