Ellis Wong Chi-wang continued his red-hot streak and out-rode his 7lb claim thanks to his first Sha Tin turf double aboard Aerovolanic and Joy Of Spring on Saturday.

The 24-year-old got off to the perfect start when Aerovolanic, a dual trial winner, weaved his way through traffic to make a winning debut in the Class Four HKU Heritage Handicap (1,200m).

Wong travelled just ahead of midfield on the Pierre Ng Pang-chi-trained four-year-old, with the debutant looking very green and rolling around when put under pressure in the straight.

The Frosted galloper got the hang of things late, however, and surged between horses 50m out to win a shade cosily ahead of fellow debutant Tourbillon Golfer and $3.8 favourite Rainbow Seven.

And Wong’s day got even better when Joy Of Spring flew down the middle of the track to win the Class Three HKU Foundation Handicap (1,800m) for his boss, Caspar Fownes.

On a day where coming from behind midfield was a real struggle, Joy Of Spring was slow away and Wong was forced to settle deep in the pack.

The pair travelled ominously and as the field straightened up, Wong pounced into a gap and soon cut his mount loose, launching into the lead 200m out and readily holding a late challenge from Gentlemen Legacy.

It was win number 46 in Hong Kong in a stellar period for Wong and Fownes was full of praise for his apprentice.

“It was a really good effort, he came out a bit slow today but luckily Ellis got him in a decent position,” said Fownes. “The horse did this last season, going back-to-back with two wins, so it’s nice to do it again.

“It’s good for Ellis – next week he becomes a five-pound claimer so we wish him the best of luck, he’s riding really well. Hopefully my friend trainers will give him some more support.”
