GALAXY PATCH HAILED AS HK'S 'NEXT FUTURE STAR'

Jockey Ho touts Pierre Ng-trained galloper as next big thing after champ Golden Sixty
-
Synonymous with Golden Sixty's towering feats, jockey Vincent Ho has anointed Galaxy Patch as Hong Kong's "next future star" after the gelding's dominant HK$5.35 million (S$899,000) Group 2 Sha Tin Trophy Handicap (1,600m) victory at Sha Tin on Oct 13.
Ho piloted Galaxy Patch to an emphatic 11/2-length win over Group 1 winner Voyage Bubble and rising talent Chancheng Glory in 1min 33.49sec in another confirmation of Galaxy Patch's extraordinary talent.
"He (Galaxy Patch) has got great talent and he will be the next future star, I would say," said Ho, who partnered Golden Sixty to 26 wins from 31 starts, crowned by a Hong Kong record 10 Group 1 triumphs and world record prize money haul of HK$167.17 million.
"He's only 70 per cent fit – based on his form last season, he would have smashed them easier today but it was enough for him to win today by just stretching out by himself," added Ho.
