Exciting four-year-old Bulb General continued to stamp his Classic Series credentials after notching an electrifying third consecutive victory at Sha Tin on Saturday.
Sent off the raging $1.5 favourite in the Class Three Tung Lung Chau Handicap (1,200m), the Jamie Richards-trained gelding made light work of gate 12 when storming home under Zac Purton to bolt in by two and three-quarter lengths.
Despite being labelled “a shocking mover” by Purton and lazy trackworker by Richards, Bulb General continues to produce the goods on race day as he marches towards the four-year-old series this season.
“He’s a tough horse because he’s a shocking mover. In the mornings, he feels the ground. He doesn’t trial well on the dirt because he’s not comfortable on it but he’s turning up race day, which is what matters,” Purton said.
