Amazing Star dazzles for Purton and Ting at the Valley

BY DAVID MORGAN | HKJC_RACING

mazing Star (Darci Brahma) put in a dazzling performance to take the Class 2 Stubbs Handicap (1200m) at Happy Valley on Wednesday and continueA the fine form of trainer Jimmy Ting. The improving five-year-old destroyed his rivals. A fast break to lead followed by a strong middle section had them working hard to keep tabs, and a determined drive to the line sealed a length and three-quarter success for the $1.40 favourite. “He’s been going well this season and he did it the hard way tonight from a wide gate (12),” jockey Zac Purton said. “He had to do some work early and had Shouson HKJC pressure applied to him again at the 600 (metres) but he kicked away nicely and did a “Amazing – Amazing Star!” he said. “The “He’s a very fast horse but it was his first good job.” horse was in better form last time he ran.

The champion jockey kicked off with Shouson (Star Witness) while the trainer was also on the mark with Golden Glory (Patapan). Shouson was a warm order in the opener, section one of the Class 4 Kennedy Handicap (1200m), and justified his price of $1.90 with an easy success. The John Moore-trained gelding burst clear with 200 metres to go and kept on well until Purton eased him through the final few strides to pass the post a length to the good. Golden Glory was runner-up to Shouson last time out and the form stood up well as the Ting-trained nine-year-old boxed on determinedly to score by two lengths under Silvestre de Sousa in section two of the Class 4 Amazing Star HKJC Kennedy Handicap (1200m).
