VETERAN Australian handler Neville Begg bounced back to form with a 100-1 double at Sha Tin yesterday.
Begg scored with the enigmatic Jolly Good Winner in the sixth event and immediately followed up with Diablo - who shares a few character traits with Jolly Good Winner - in the seventh.
Like most of the progeny by the late Persian Heights, Jolly Good Winner doesn't race as well as he works.
He had disappointed a couple of times already this season but seemed to appreciate being ridden in a more forward manner yesterday and eventually scrambled home from Golden Power by a short head under visiting English rider, Alan Munro.
The race was run at a break-neck speed and Munro laughed afterwards: 'I think we ran the final quarter in something like 26 seconds but it felt more like 30.
'We just got there, but got there we did.' Jolly Good Winner was Munro's ninth winner in two-and-a-half months as he starts to come in for some better quality mounts from a number of different trainers.
'But I'm not setting any targets. I'm just taking each meeting as it comes and trying to ride as much work as possible to get on as many good horses as possible,' added the popular English and Irish Derby-winning rider.
