NSW-bred 3YO Silent Witness (a $55,000 bargain at the Inglis 2001 Classic Yearling Sale) maintained his unbeaten record to take the HK Gr2 Sha Tin Vase (1000m), easily defeating local sprint star Grand Delight. Winning jockey Felix Coetzee declared:

"He was . . . just . . . awesome. Amazing. As good as he was today, there's a lot more to come. He can just go on & on." Silent Witness now has 5 wins from 5 starts & prize-money topping $760,000.

Trainer Tony Cruz is now planning a brief spell prior to a campaign aimed at the rich HK International Sprint in December. Silent Witness (bred & offered for sale by Ian Smith’s Edinburgh Park Stud at Taree on the NSW mid-north coast) is by El Moxie from talented racemare Jade Tiara. Bloodstock agent John Foote, who purchased the bay for $55,000, had no hesitation investing the same amount again for a half-brother to Silent Witness (by Woodman) at this year’s Inglis Classic Sale.
