Vincent Ho Chak-yiu is confident The Boom Box has plenty more to give after he overcame a wide gate and some testing Sha Tin conditions to remain unbeaten on Sunday.

On a cold and blustery winter’s day at Sha Tin, The Boom Box travelled towards the back of the field before unleashing what is becoming his trademark finishing burst to notch his third win from as many starts.

“Today it’s tough with all of the wind coming from the outside. He is better than what [we saw today] because it’s a bit tough for us, but the positive side is that he is so switched off now,” said Ho of The Boom Box, who has had to overcome double-figure draws in all three of his starts.

“He doesn’t pull behind horses in the field any more, so we’ll see how he pulls up and then decide for the future.”

The Boom Box’s half-length win, which saw him launch down the middle of the track and grab Francis Meynell and Chateauneuf in the final strides, will see him leap to a rating in the 70s.

“Wow, it’s good,” trainer Chris So Wai-yin said of his charge’s win in the Class Three Para Archery Handicap (1,200m). “I was just worried about the draw but we had no other choice but to sit him quietly.

“I told Vincent to sit him quiet and see what happens, but he did a great job. He’s so relaxed and he doesn’t pull.

“That’s why I say the horse maybe needs further in future, but not at the moment.

“If the draw’s better, we don’t have to drag so far back but when he draws 11, we have no option. I’m happy to see the horse is improving. He’s quite a nice horse.”

While Ho continued a decent run of form aboard The Boom Box to move to six wins in January, Keith Yeung Ming-lun’s success aboard the Frankie Lor Fu-chuen-trained Never Peter Out was a much-needed one for the likeable jockey.

Yeung entered the meeting in the midst of the most substantial drought of any jockey on the roster and had gone 63 rides by the time Never Peter Out snared the Class Four Boccia Handicap (1,650m) on the all-weather track.

It was aboard Never Peter Out that Yeung had last tasted success on December 18 and the four-year-old son of Grunt made it two wins on the trot and three over the extended dirt mile this season.

“He’s a lovely horse. He was a bit difficult to begin with but we’ve sorted out the right gear with him,” said Yeung.

“Ever since we put the visor on him his trackwork and racing performances have been very, very honest. I hope he can do it again in Class Three with a light weight.”

Never Peter Out’s win was Yeung’s 10th of the season, while Lor jumped to seventh in the trainers’ premiership with his 22nd success of the campaign.
