New Zealand Bloodstock graduate Team Power secured his maiden win in Hong Kong on Sunday when victorious in the Class 4 Norfolk Handicap (1400m) at Sha Tin.
The four-year-old was purchased out of Lyndhurst Stud’s 2017 New Zealand Bloodstock Ready To Run Sale draft by Bruce and Maureen Harvey’s Ascot Farm for $100,000.
Meanwhile, another Karaka sales graduate in Fantasy provided leading rider Joao Moreira with the third of a winning treble on the day when he took out a Class 3 1200m contest.
Purchased by trainer Danny Shum for $240,000 from Curraghmore’s 2017 Ready To Run Sale draft, the $1.60 favourite powered over the top of the front-running Team Spirit to score by half a length.
“He’s a young horse and he’s going forward every time he goes out there to race,” Moreira said.
“Danny said to me before the race that he’d put on better condition this time and he was 100 percent right. It’s a great training effort.”
