Nationality: Hong Kong

Background:
Age: 64. Danny Shum rode 24 winners in Hong Kong between 1977 and 1983. He learnt the training ropes as assistant to former multiple Hong Kong Champion Trainer, Ivan Allan. He was granted a Hong Kong trainer's licence ahead of the 2003/04 season and began brightly with 34 winners. The handler improved on that good debut season to rank third in the trainers' championship in his second term when Scintillation emerged as his standout runner. The 2011/12 season brought a first overseas success as Little Bridge went to Royal Ascot to clinch victory in the King's Stand Stakes. Shum nailed a career-high 57 wins to finish fifth in the 2020/21 standings. He achieved one of his career highlights in 2021/22 when Romantic Warrior became the first graduate of the Hong Kong International Sale to win the Hong Kong Derby. The star galloper went one better the following start with a maiden QEII Cup triumph for Shum. Shum closed out another outstanding season in 2023/24 with Romantic Warrior, who was crowned Horse Of The Year for the first time and Champion Middle-Distance Horse for the third consecutive year after winning five Group 1 races in a single season across Australia, Hong Kong and Japan. Last season Shum also saddled his 800th winner in Hong Kong.
