It was The Tim Fitzsimmons Show at the trials on April 11.

The Australian conditioner who, in recent years, has always featured among the top at Kranji, saddled the winners of three of the four trials staged.

However, and as sometimes happens, the spotlight sometimes falls elsewhere.

Like it was at the hit-outs, Fitzsimmons had to share the attention with two of Kranji’s biggest stars – Lim’s Kosciuszko and Golden Monkey.

Well, let us say, the end result was a three-way deadheat.

Fitzsimmons took training honours with his treble, which included two quinellas, while the two four-legged racers were the ones who had racegoers gushing over until late evening.

Then again, it was expected. When out on the track, they do not disappoint.

Take that second trial of the morning.

Off they went, the six of them, with Lucky Hero and then Dancing Supremo calling the shots in the early part of proceedings.

The “Monkey” was content to prance around in fourth spot, while always keeping an eye on his old nemesis, Lim’s Kosciuszko.
