Caspar Fownes has already claimed the 2025-26 trainers’ championship but still has bullets left to fire at the Happy Valley season finale, including Sky Deep in the Class Four Sweet Orange Handicap (1,650m).
Fownes took out his fifth title on Sunday at Sha Tin with 69 wins for the season, giving him an unassailable lead of five over Danny Shum Chap-shing ahead of Wednesday night’s final meeting.
The champion trainer sends out six chances at the city circuit, with five of them to be ridden by stable jockey Joao Moreira.
“It felt great, geez it was a long season, but glad we got it over the line, so very happy,” Fownes said.
“I’m looking forward to tomorrow night, I thought I had some nice chances going into the meeting.”
