Jockey Zac Purton reaches 1700 Hong Kong win milestone
Zac Purton etched his name deeper into Hong Kong racing history with a scintillating six-win performance at Happy Valley on Wednesday night, December 26. The Australian jockey’s dominant display brought his career tally to 1,797 wins, leaving him just 16 shy of Douglas Whyte’s all-time record of 1,813 victories.
Purton’s six-timer equaled Brett Prebble’s longstanding record of six wins from 10 rides at Happy Valley, set in June 2010. Victories aboard Super Charizzard, Noisy Boy, Northern Fire Ball, View Of The World, The Azure, and Aurora Lady capped a night of clinical riding and tactical brilliance.
