Victory in Hong Kong

NZ horse trainer Paul O’Sullivan has leapt to second place on the trainer’s premiership table thanks to a stunning feature win in Hong Kong. Together with Australian jockey Brett Prebble and NZ-bred horse Vital King, O’Sullivan won the NZ$2.91 million Hong Kong Derby at Sha Tin. “We had a lead-up that was free of interruptions and it was helped by a brilliant ride from Brett,” said O’Sullivan. Next on the agenda for the successful team is the QEII Cup on April 29.
