Background:
Age: 23. Ellis Wong commenced overseas training in 2019 in Adelaide, South Australia. Attached to the stable of trainer Grant Young, Wong commenced riding in Australia in early 2021 before switching to the yard of Gary Searle for further experience Down Under. In Australia, Wong landed 88 winners and proved a popular three-kilogram claiming option for most trainers. Wong celebrated his best day in the saddle earlier in 2023, riding a four-timer at Gawler on 7 January. Returning to Hong Kong for the latter part of the 2022/23 season, Wong is currently indentured to trainer Caspar Fownes. He kicked off his Hong Kong career on 7 May, 2023, and soon after he opened his Hong Kong account aboard Storm Legend. He closed out that term with three wins. In 2023/24, he added a further 23 wins to his budding record.
