Trained at Gore by Winsloe, he was having only his second start as an eight-year-old this season, but he did not race as either a six or seven-year-old. Super Arch began racing as a two-year-old, when he had four unplaced starts. A second placing at Cromwell was his best effort in seven starts as a three-year-old. At four years he had 13 starts, winning one, the Ferry Novice Handicap No. 2, at the Wyndham spring meeting. Back to Wyndham four years later, he scored his second win. By Super, he is out of Regal Bridge, and was raced in his first four seasons by his breeders, Mrs M. Robinson and Mr J. Scott.
