HONG KONG Erasing the memories of a recent challenging spell, Matthew Poon posted his second treble of the season to take riding honours at Sha Tin on Sunday. The day also saw John Size moving closer to a record 12th Hong Kong trainers’ championship with a double to take...
Winless since Reve Parisien triumphed on April 23, Poon was asked by Shum to visit a temple before Sunday’s meeting as he sought to end the barren streak.
“I asked to go to the temple to pray for some good luck. He went on Saturday. Maybe the god helped him,” said Shum, as Poon advanced to his first treble since Oct 5, 2022, at Happy Valley. Taking his tally to 19 wins for the season, Poon conceded the wait before his Sunday spree had been frustrating.
“It’s been a long time. In the second half of the season, I have a better connection with the horses. It’s great to get this result, but I still have to keep working hard,” he said.“I’m grateful for the support from the trainers and owners and, hopefully, there’s more to come. All the horses ran well today and did a good job.”
Size collected his second winner when Tuchel enhanced his growing reputation by shouldering 134lb to post a stirring win in Class 2 Para Sports Coach Handicap over 1,600m under Zac Purton. – HKJC
