Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted October 13 Journalists Posted October 13 New Zealand sourced runners were to the fore at Sha Tin on Sunday with six winners from the ten races. Sky Heart (NZ) (Ardrossan) landed the fourth win of his 13-start career when fighting bravely to score in a Class 3 over 1400m. The Caspar Fownes-trained five-year-old overcame barrier 13 to win by a nose under Ellis Wong for the Kwan family after being sidelined for the best part of six months. “He’s a good horse and we’ve always had a very high opinion of him, but he’s just had umpteen problems,” Fownes said. “He had colic surgery and he was out for a while but we’ve given him a really good prep and we were just gutted when we saw the draw. But we just pressed on and relied on his fitness and you can see he’s a good horse because he really stuck his neck out.” Fownes had earlier saddled Daily Trophy (NZ) (Tarzino) to win a Class 4 over 1200m. Jamie Richards continued his good early-season form when $1.20 favourite Jubilant Winner (Capitalist) notched a workmanlike victory in a Class 4 over 1200m. A son of Capitalist, Jubilant Winner was a trial winner in New Zealand at Te Rapa for Richards father Paul and is now a two-time winner in Hong Kong.
