Bold Runner and Storm To Finish also put in smart trials on sand and turf respectively

Trainer Winson Cheng Han Yong has got more than a couple of talented youngsters residing in his stalls at the Selangor Turf Club.

He produced two of them - Our Jet and Momochiko - at the trials run off at Sungai Besi on July 22.

Taking off in the first of six hit-outs on a track rated good, the pair were without a doubt the morning stars.

Jumping from the two outermost gates and ridden by Andre da Silva and Haikal Hanif respectively, Our Jet and Momochiko were in a trial of their own, especially the former.

Once the starter said "go", there was no stopping him. After dismissing an early challenge from Sabahcai, he had daylight in front of him.

Momochiko threw down a challenge at the top of the straight but, with engines at full thrust, Our Jet opened up to a sizeable lead to eventually beat his stablemate by three lengths.

Besides the convincing margin, Our Jet also broke the minute mark when clocking 59.69sec under a good hold.
