Back to listsTop Three Shared Equal Number Of Wins At Hong Kong
By S C Sharma | 27-Jun-2020 Top three jockeys and trainers today shared equal number of wins between them at Sha Tin, Hong Kong racing . Leading at top of the table champion Z Purton won only a single race today and his rival J Moreira won two races and K Teetan added just one more win to his tally at number three but battle for champion trainer closed the margin-gap very fast and first two trainers now stands at top of the table with only one win difference and third placed trainer trailing by four wins with number one and by three wins to number two trainers at the table. Trainer K W Lui won two races today 2-9 Winston's Lad ( C Y Ho in saddle ) and 10-12 Water Divine ( H N Wong ) thus keeping up his own momentum and tempo and marching fast and now title looks achievable for him. His last race winner was a longer odds horse available at 44/1 for win and 10/1 for place. PF Yiu's lone winner 9-12 Alcari ( M F Poon in saddle ) was available at 27/1 for win and 7/1 for place.
With only five meetings leftover to decide the championship title a tight finish is expected between top two trainers. Whereas among jockeys Z Purton is not in a mood to celebrate victory right now for jockey's championship title for fourth occasion , though he is sitting pretty with six wins lead over his arch rival J Moreira. He still preferred to wait till official prize is handed over to him on 15th of July for victory celebration . The final standings of top three jockeys and trainers after concluding of today's races at Sha Tin, HK is as follows:
Jockeys table: Z Purton 137 wins, J Moreira 131 wins and K Teetan 85 wins.
Trainers table : P F Yiu 62 wins, K W Lui 61 wins and A S Cruz 58 wins.
Next race day at HK is on Wednesday 1st, July at Sha Tin.
