Four days after joining the elite club of training 1,000 winners in Hong Kong, Francis Lui Kin-wai capped a massive week with a treble in consecutive races at Sha Tin.

Lui became just the sixth handler to reach the major milestone with a double at Happy Valley on Wednesday night and the veteran’s outstanding form continued on Sunday courtesy of Lucky Twin Stars, Hot Delight and Amazing Partners.

Hot Delight’s incredible performance on debut was the most exciting of Lui’s three winners, with the three-year-old overcoming barrier 14 to claim the second section of the Class Four Cycling Handicap (1,200m) under Vincent Ho Chak-yiu.

“He’s a good horse, I like him a lot,” Lui said. “The owner [Peter Law Kin-sang] always buys a good horse and he can spend to buy a good one.”

Backing up his strong trial form, Hot Delight settled midfield with cover before unleashing a powerful finishing burst to beat fellow debutant Conrad Patch by a length and three-quarters.

“He drew 14, so that made things a bit harder but luckily it was the A course and even though he was three-wide, we knew he was a nice horse,” Ho said.

“He did everything right, so looking forward to the next start and hopefully he can learn more, stay calm and improve.”

Lucky Twin Stars started Lui’s hat-trick with an upset triumph at $17.9 in the second section of the Class Four Swimming Handicap (1,400m).

A Newcastle winner on his only pre-import start in Australia, Lucky Twin Stars had shown only modest form on his six Hong Kong starts before his fast-finishing neck win over Absolute Honour.

“Sometimes these horses take time to mature, it was a good performance and now he has won I hope he can keep winning,” Lui said.

Amazing Partners completed Lui’s three-timer and a race-to-race double for Ho, storming home from midfield to beat Amazing Fun narrowly in the first section of the Class Four Swimming Handicap.

The Pierara four-year-old showed promise with a pair of eye-catching thirds before his maiden victory.

Browne McMonagle breaks through

Star Irish jockey Dylan Browne McMonagle celebrated his first Hong Kong victory when he booted home Flow Water Flow for champion trainer John Size.

The 22-year-old, who started a three-month stint in the city on New Year’s Day, made the most of the pickup ride from the suspended Hugh Bowman on Flow Water Flow in the Class Four Triathlon Handicap (1600m).

“Very happy and it’s a great place to be competing. I’ve been very lucky, I’ve been getting on some nice horses in the last few weeks,” Ireland’s reigning champion jockey said.

“I’ve been getting plenty of support and massive thanks to John Size. He’s been extra special, he’s been throwing a lot at me and thankfully I can reward him with a winner.

“It’s good to get a winner for him and hopefully we can build on that. I’m very lucky to get on some of his horses, obviously his record speaks for itself and I’m blessed to be getting my leg across his horses.”

After starting his career with three consecutive seconds, Flow Water Flow relished the step up to a mile and a fast speed when he stormed home to beat The Golden Knight by a short head.

“Stepping up to 1,600m was going to be a big help to him today and he was good and strong the last 100m – thankfully, he got his head in front,” Browne McMonagle said.

Emblazon passes Class Three test

Cody Mo Wai-kit’s progressive four-year-old Emblazon continued his superb campaign with a last-gasp victory in the Class Three Fencing Handicap (1,400m).

Tackling Class Three company for the first time after two wins and a second from three starts this term, Emblazon settled midfield under Jerry Chau Chun-lok and kept on strongly in the straight to record a narrow success.

The $4.1 favourite prevailed by a short head from Flash Current, with another four-year-old in Juneau Pride close behind in third.

With a rating of 64 before Sunday’s win, Emblazon will almost certainly miss a start in the Classic Mile on February 1 but Mo hasn’t ruled out trying to boost his rating with an eye to the other legs of the Classic Series.

“Maybe we will get some points and try to get into the Derby,” Mo said.

“We’ll see how he pulls up. I think his first time in Class Three over 1,400m was a test. I think in a mile race we’ll find out more.”

Emblazon helped Chau clinch a brace after he won on Lucky Twin Stars.
