HONG KONG -
Following a double on Dec 11, 12-time Hong Kong champion trainer Size boosted his season's tally to 11 wins when former French galloper Stellar Express ($33 on the Singapore tote) sped to his first victory in Hong Kong, as Mickley ($25), Grand Nova ($28) and Beauty Alliance ($18) also triumphed for the Australian maestro.
Jumping from barrier 6, Stellar Express found the outside rail under Brenton Avdulla and was never headed, clocking 55.90sec to beat I Give and James Tak. Favourite Fast Network finished fourth.
"I've been a bit slow out of the gate this season because our horses had to have a break, but they're starting to show some form now. Hopefully, it will continue on," said Size.
"We had to be patient and had to wait for it, but it came."
