Elite Invincible walked away with the Singapore Horse of the Year title at the rebranded 2018 Racing Appreciation Night held at the JW Marriott Hotel Singapore South Beach on Monday night.

Besides claiming the much-coveted award, the Mark Walker-trained Irish-bred also took home the Champion Four-Year-Old and Champion Stayer awards.

The son of Archarcharch exploded onto the scene last year with brilliant victories in the first two Legs of the Singapore Four-Year-Old Challenge, the Group 2 Stewards' Cup (1400m) and the Group 1 Giovanni Racing Charity Cup (1600m). He was gallant in defeat when runner-up to Jupiter Gold in the third Leg, the Group 1 Emirates Singapore Derby (1800m). 

After a minor health hiccup shortly after, he bounced back later in the year in the pinnacle of staying races, the Group 1 Dester Singapore Gold Cup (2000m).
