Summit Road was Mr Sing’s second purchase while on holiday in New Zealand The other was Early Star, a two-year-old Local Light— Early Hours colt, which was owned by the Yaldhurst trainer. A B. Holmes. Mr Sing, who returned to Sydney last evening, paid substantial four-figure sums for both horses. Summit Road has only one win on his record, the Golden Slipper Stakes at Waimate at his first start as a two-year-old. But he has performed consistently for 11 minor placings from 16 starts meantime. After his Golden Slipiper Stakes wih last season Summit Road was runner-up in five of his next six starts.
