Super Impose: Champion Australian Racehorse by K Cummings
Ask jockeys Darren Beadman, Shane Dye, and Greg Hall about their most memorable rides, and Super Impose would probably figure high on their list.
Foaled in October 1984 in New Zealand, Super Impose was a Thoroughbred racehorse sired by multiple Group 1 winner, Imposing, out of Pheroz Fancy. The chestnut colt was fancied by trainer Lee Freedman at the 1986 Trentham yearlings sales in New Zealand and was purchased by a small syndicate for $40,000. Super Impose was among three horses chosen by Freedman, who he termed as a 'beautiful imposing horse'.
The chestnut colt wasn't raced as a two-year-old, but won on his debut as a three-year-old in a maiden at Seymour. Super Impose was placed second in three of five starts. His form improved with a victory in a race at Benalla, followed by a second placing in a handicap for three-year-olds at Flemington. His form at Flemington brought out his true characteristics, which included a dislike for heavy going on rain-affected tracks. In 1988, Super Impose began his career as a four-year-old with a few ups and downs, finishing third in a progressive. However, two second placings in the Grey-Smith Stakes and the Ballarat Cup was a confidence booster, winning the Eclipse Stakes. A trip to Sydney was next on the cards with a major victory in the AJC Summer Cup on Boxing Day.
Freedman's faith in Super Impose brought him back to Melbourne and his first shot at weight-for-age races. The colt obliged with a win in the Carlyon Cup, setting a course record. His stint at Melbourne also included second placings in the St. George Stakes, Orr Stakes, and the Australian Cup. Back in Sydney, wet weather kept him out of racing during the autumn carnival, after which he went for a spell. In the 1989-1990 season, Super Impose returned as a five-year-old to Sandown in late August, with a victory in a Turnbull Stakes in his fifth race of the season, defeating Research. Minor placings followed in the Caulfield Stakes, Caulfield Cup, and Mackinnon Stakes. A weight of 56 kg in the Melbourne Cup with jockey Darren Gauci in the saddle was good enough only for a second spot behind Tawrrific, although Freedman was happy with the colt's performance. A string of placings followed in early 1990 until the Doncaster Handicap, where with a top-weight of 57 kgs, Super Impose came from right behind to snatch victory away from Shaftesbury Avenue. Surprisingly, this was jockey Bill Compton's only ride on Super Impose, but his tactical ride was the blueprint for many 'mile' races at Randwick over the next two years.
As a six-year-old, Super Impose defeated Eastern Classic in the Warwick Stakes, followed by two second spots. The colt hit the home stretch like a bullet to win the Doncaster Handicap. Back to Melbourne, an unfortunate bleeding problem in the Caulfield Stakes shortened his season, which also attracted an automatic three-month ban. The ban crushed his connection's hopes of making it for the Japan Cup. Super Impose returned in 1991 to clinch the Chester Manifold Stakes in Melbourne. In Sydney, jockey Darren Beadman brought the colt home in the Chipping Norton Stakes and the Ranvet Stakes. A major setback followed in the Mercedes Classic finishing last in a field of six. However, Super Impose was back in the Doncaster Handicap, finishing the season as runner-up in the All-Aged Stakes. 4 Group One wins that included the Epsom and Doncaster Handicaps, not only made this the best season of his career but his dam, Pheroz Fancy was named New Zealand Broodmare of the Year in 1991.
With 53 starts under his belt, Super Impose romped home in the Warwick Stakes as a seven-year-old, defeating Livistona Lane. He went on to create history by winning the AJC Epsom and Doncaster Handicaps for the second time in a row with Darren Beadman in the saddle, setting a weight-carrying record of 61 kgs in the Epsom Handicap and 59.5 kgs in the Doncaster Handicap. A trip to Melbourne brought second spots in the Caulfield Stakes, the Cox Plate and the Mackinnon Stakes. A top weight of 60 kgs in the Melbourne Cup did not work in his favor, finishing fourth, in a race won by Let's Elope.
n the next year, after a few placings, Super Impose broke loose in the Canberra Cup, with Mick Dittman steering him home to victory by more than three lengths. A magnificent victory by a nose in the Cox Plate with Greg Hall in the saddle created an Australasian record $5.6 million in prize money.
After a 15th place in the Melbourne Cup, Super Impose retired in February 1993 and was put to rest in 2007 at the age of 22 due to disabilities associated with old age.
Super Impose was inducted into the Australian Racing Hall of Fame in 2007. A fitting tribute stone and plaque is firmly erected in memory of the 'super colt' at his burial ground at Glenlogan Park Stud.
