Trainer Benno Yung unearthed a three-year-old with potential in the second section of the Class 4 Kowloon Park Handicap (1,200m), with Super Joy N Fun (NZ) (What’s The Story) sticking on to salute at $13.6.
Racing in the same colours as Joy And Fun, Super Joy N Fun was sent forward from gate nine by jockey Jerry Chau before eventually electing to settle outside leader Divine Era in a race without any great pace.
Quick to respond when asked to extend in the home straight, Super Joy N Fun quickly took control before holding off fast-finishing $2.2 favourite Beauty Infinity by a head.
Super Joy N Fun is a son of the Savabeel stallion What’s The Story and was a strong trial winner for New Plymouth trainer Debbie Harris before his sale to Hong Kong.
Out of the Elusive City mare Citycenta, Super Joy N Fun was known as Buyback in New Zealand and is a half-brother to the stakes performer City Slicker. He was bred by Peter and Sue Westend who stand What’s The Story, a Group One performed son of Savabeel, at their Norweigan Park in Ohaupo.
