It’s only early days, but trainer Jamie Richards is keen to keep his “quite incredible” start to the season going after saluting with each of his past four runners to reel off consecutive doubles.
With a steady stream of horses leaving his stable and winners hard to come by, Richards endured a character-building 2024-25 season the trainer himself has labelled a “shocker”.
After some off-season changes headlined by a move from the Olympic stables to the main Sha Tin complex and the arrival of Ben So Tik-hung as assistant trainer, Richards sits at the top of the premiership and is enjoying every minute of his change in fortunes.
“It’s quite incredible really. I couldn’t see that coming. I was reasonably confident that Groovy Feeling and Bulb General would run well and Storming Dragon was going well, but it was a welcome surprise that To Infinity won,” Richards said of his four winners so far from just seven runners, the latter of whom saluted at $35 on Wednesday night.
