Bidding to extend a stunning opening to the 2023/24 season, Pierre Ng will lay siege to two Bank of China (Hong Kong) Race Day features – the HK$5.35 million G2 BOCHK Private Banking Jockey Club Sprint (1200m)and the HK$5.35 G2 BOCHK Jockey Club Cup (2000m) – at Sha Tin on Sunday (19 November) with his three highest-rated horses.
Leading the Hong Kong trainers’ championship with 22 wins – seven more than nearest pursuer Francis Lui (15) – Ng will saddle Super Wealthy (rated 115) and Duke Wai (113) in the G2 BOCHK Private Banking Jockey Club Sprint before unleashing veteran Glorious Dragon (110) in the G2 BOCHK Jockey Club Cup.
On trial for starts in the HK$118 million LONGINES Hong Kong International Races, the trio is shaping well for Ng who, after only 19 meetings this season, is more than half way to the 41 wins he produced in 2022/23, his debut season as a trainer.
