Britney Wong Po-ni landed consecutive Sha Tin doubles headlined by Cheval Valiant’s all-the-way win in the Class Four Lai On Handicap (1,000m) at Sha Tin on Sunday.
The 26-year-old smashed out of the gates on the Charm Spirit galloper and never looked back, crossing over to the stands rail from gate nine and setting comfortable fractions on the front end.
When the pair were faced by a myriad of challengers in the final 200m, Wong galvanised her willing partner and gamely fended off $57 roughie Straight To Glory and $6.8 second favourite Lahore by a neck.
It was the second straight double for Wong and the fourth consecutive winning meeting for the 10lb apprentice, who was teaming up with the horse that provided her with her first Hong Kong win back in September.
