SUPER ONE BOOKED FOR MELBOURNE Super One (Aus) (I Am Invincible {Aus}), undefeated in four juvenile starts in Singapore including the Aushorse Golden Horseshoe and Juvenile Championship S., will depart for Australia Sept. 26 and will be quarantined at the Werribee Quarantine Center before being prepared for a start in the G1 Coolmore Stud S. up the famed Flemington straight Oct. 31. AThere is a flight with all the European horses heading to Melbourne that will stopover in Singapore and depart Sept. 26,@ explained trainer Michael Freedman. AHe will get on that flight and will then be quarantined at the Werribee International Horse Centre.@ Rumors emerged earlier this week that Super One | Singapore Turf Club Super One was in the process of being sold and turned over to Freedman=s older brother Lee, who returned to training last November, to possibly continue his career in Australia. But for now, Michael Freedman is taking things a day at a time. AIt=s a bit premature to have any talks about his future in Australia or here,@ Freedman commented. AOne thing for sure is he is ready to go to Melbourne and run in the Coolmore Stud S. Everything else will depend largely on his run in the Coolmore. Whether he stays for the autumn or not, we=ll see what happens.@ Freedman said that Super One, an A$190,000 Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling acquisition by him and bloodstock agent Michael Wallace, has pulled up nicely from his Juvenile Championship score July 26, but that he may have to tighten the screws a bit prior to his departure. AHe=s pulled up terrific and is doing really well. I=ve given him only light work since his run,@ he said. ABecause he will need to be quarantined for 16 days here, I=m still thinking whether I should give him a barrier trial before he flies out.@
