SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Hong Kong stayer Dan Excel won Sunday's S$3 million (1.45 million pounds) Singapore Airlines International Cup, becoming the first horse to win Southeast Asia's richest race in successive years.

Patiently ridden by Australian jockey Tommy Berry, the evergreen seven-year-old charged to the front from the second widest barrier then held off his rivals in the straight to win the 2,000 metre Group One race at a floodlit Kranji racecourse.
