Muzi can equal record
The Citizen
|March 26, 2025
Fourie still searching for first win in R2-million race.
Jockey Muzi Yeni will be looking to equal a national record when he lines up in the Grade 1 HKJC World Pool Premier's Champions Challenge over 2000m on Saturday The most successful jockey in this R2-million race so far with five wins is Anton Marcus but he has since retired and Yeni will be looking to equal that total when he rides Royal Victory.
Yeni has won this race four times and will be looking for a double on Nathan Kotzen-trained Royal Victory, who won this race in 2024. Two of his triumphs have been for trainer Joe Soma, winning for the first time on Happy Landing in 2011. The jockey/ trainer combination struck again in 2021 when brilliant Got The Greenlight took top honours.
However, in between the two Yeni teamed up with trainer Robbie Sage aboard Coral Fever in 2018 and of course, last year on Royal Victory.
Marcus' five wins were on Pick Six (2007) and Smart Banker (2009) for Charles Laird, Yorker (2014) for Geoff Woodruff, Legal Eagle (2016) for Sean Tarry and Hawwaam (2018) for Mike de Kock.
