Logan clinches first local Group win
as Minister lays down the law in Kranji Mile

A
                multiple-Group 1 winning trainer
                in her native New Zealand and
                Australia, Donna Logan enjoyed
                her biggest success at her new
Singapore base when Minister (Street Sense)
came with a well-timed run under A’Isisuhairi
‘Harry’ Kasim to land yesterday’s Kranji Mile
(Listed, 1600m) by a head.
    “With Minister, I had a hunger to prove
something. I wanted this win more than
anything,” said Logan.
    “I’ve heard people saying I couldn’t train
because I was a woman and all that, but the
truth of the matter is a good trainer needs to
have good animals to train. If they don’t have
the stock, they won’t set the world on fire.”

with marquee wins, Logan said the Kranji Mile           resounding win in the Better Life 2012 Stakes,       in the Better Than Ever 2010 & 2011 Stakes
