Happy Tour, who looms as an exciting graduate of the Hong Kong International Sale, set the Sha Tin All-Weather Track alight on Sunday with a class record breaking win by five lengths in the Middle Handicap (1200m) which was arguably the standout performance of the meeting. 

The four-year-old, by boom Australian sire Snitzel, careered his way out of Class 4 with this dominant, front-running performance, stopping the clock at 1.08.14 - under top weight of 133lb. The win completed a double for trainer Danny Shum and jockey Zac Purton who have a 16.7% winning strike rate together this season. 

The duo combined earlier with Perfect Match, who also made all, to win the 1400m Cameron Handicap on the turf track. Both are lightly raced and destined for better things according to Shum who now boasts a healthy 16 winners for the season. 

“He’s only had the four starts and I’m sure he’s still improving,” Shum said of Happy Tour, before adding, “and Zac (Purton) gave me a good report about the other horse too.”
