WINNER'S Special could well be adding to Wong Tang-ping's end-of-season haul, the way he has been working of late.
The New Zealand import has done very little since arriving last season to start his Hong Kong career from a rating of 84 in Class One.
But he has dropped steadily down the handicap scale after a series of unplaced efforts mainly at sprint distances and he's entered for a mile event in Class Three at Sha Tin next weekend.
The distance looks to be the key as much as the drop in the ratings for Winner's Special was noted staying on well last time over 1,400 metres in the race won by Jollity.
He again got behind in the run but made up significant late ground on the far rail to finish sixth of 14 in a manner which suggested he could do something when sent out over farther.
Since then his work has been something of a revelation. He has improved no end and has been beating virtually all his galloping partners.
