'Dream team' show their dominance with young guns
John Size believes racing is a cyclical business. That being the case, the wheel has turned its full 360 degrees with the three-times premier trainer leading in a brilliant four-timer at Sha Tin yesterday.
Size and his 'dream team' partner Douglas Whyte shared three winners - Vitality Champ ($19.00), Thistle King ($24.00) and Danacourt ($28.50) - while Sydndysider Chris Munce chimed into win on Whyte's reject Rely On Me ($88) in the fourth.
The Durban Demon, meanwhile, also landed the Class One handicap for Caspar Fownes on The Duke ($136.50) as the outsider of his own four timer.
The statistics when Size and Whyte get together are becoming quite astonishing. This season, Size has called on the five-times champion jockey 42 times and he's saluted on 12 of them - a win strike rate of 28.6 per cent. A further 10 have finished second or third, giving the partnership a place strike rate of 52.5 per cent.
Size was at his laconic best at the end of a long day but reflected with satisfaction at the number of progressive young horses under his care at the present time.
