Eager to improve on a successful second season in Hong Kong, Mark Newnham is banking on the brilliance of champion jockey Zac Purton in his bid to strike at Happy Valley’s first meeting of the term on Wednesday night.
After a strong debut campaign in the city with 31 wins, Newnham made impressive progress to notch 44 victories last term highlighted by My Wish’s success in the Classic Mile.
The astute Australian handler has one simple aim for the new season.
“I’ll just try to do better than last season. We had 44, so if we can do better than that, that’s pretty good,” Newnham said.
