Pierre Ng Pang-chi’s rich vein of form continued at Sha Tin’s marquee meeting as Galaxy Patch and Taj Dragon saluted in the final two contests of the 10-race programme.

Scoring for the 11th consecutive meeting, Ng’s remarkable purple patch continued when Galaxy Patch brushed his 13 rivals aside with consummate ease in the Class Three Lord Kanaloa Handicap (1,200m).

A three-time winner from four starts, the unexposed four-year-old took a keen hold under Karis Teetan. Urged forward 300m from home, Galaxy Patch immediately responded to put three lengths between himself and his labouring rivals on the way to a comfortable victory.

“He’s exciting. Winning by lengths off top weight – that’s very promising,” Ng said. “He can be difficult, and even when it comes up to a race he can be quite difficult. He takes time to settle down.”

Successful on his sole appearance in Australia, Galaxy Patch arrived in Hong Kong in May and got off the mark at the first time of asking in October’s Class Three Shanghai Handicap (1,200m).

After failing to fire on the all-weather at the end of October, the son of Wandjina bounced back with a commanding success last month before improving his record again on Sunday.

“At this stage, I’ll just stick to 1,200m with him,” Ng said. “He hasn’t got the mind to be more settled at the moment. We’ll keep doing what we’re doing at 1,200m and see how far he can go.”

Ng, who sits 10 wins clear of nearest trainers’ championship rival Danny Shum Chap-shing on 31 victories, immediately brought up his brace when Taj Dragon saluted in the Class Two Highland Reel Handicap (1,400m).

Settled towards the rear of the field, Taj Dragon travelled powerfully under Andrea Atzeni before taking the lead 100m from home and doing enough to fend off the fast-finishing Dancing Code.

“The problem with gate nine is it’s hard to find the cover for him, but Andrea found a good position,” Ng said. “The key was not to use him too early in the straight because he only has one kick. Considering the horse on the outside nearly got us, he timed it perfectly.”

It was a day of doubles for the local trainers, with Ricky Yiu Poon-fai, Manfred Man Ka-leung and Shum also bagging a pair of wins at the international meeting.

Adding to Romantic Warrior’s gutsy triumph in the Group One Hong Kong Cup (2,000m), a Shum-trained galloper also saluted in the curtain raiser, with Gorgeous Win shedding his maiden tag in the Class Four Silent Witness Handicap (1,200m).

After finishing third on debut over the same course and distance last month, Gorgeous Win emphatically justified favouritism to stop the clock in 1:09.55.

“He’s a nice horse, no doubt, and that was a good performance,” Shum said. “A lot of people tried to buy him but I said to the owner ‘you don’t have to think, just pay the money,’ and he trusted me. He’s a very nice horse.”

Winning Data and C P Brave delivered Yiu a brace, with the latter cruising to victory in the Class Three Jim And Tonic Handicap (1,800m).

“It’s a great day to have two wins and especially the last one [C P Brave],” Yiu said. “I got him from Tony Millard and he’s dropped a lot in the ratings. I’m looking forward to running him again here at Sha Tin over 1,800m. I expect him to go very close.”

Man’s two victories were thanks to superstar speedster Lucky Sweynesse in the Group One Hong Kong Sprint (1,200m) and Chiu Chow Spirit, who recorded a first win in Hong Kong in the Class Three Maurice Handicap (1,400m).
