Like James Brown was to music, Gary T K Ng is one of the hardest working people we know – not in music, but as a horse trainer.
We watch him on race days and he is seriousness personified – head down, walking in double-time and ensuring all is fine with his horses.
Over the past few seasons, his stable has been outta the blocks when it comes to banging home the winners early.
Far more successful in training sprinters, we always need to look at Ng’s horses early in the season – like this Wednesday.
Usually securing the services of local jockey Eddie Lai, on Wednesday, the one horse of his which made our eyes and other parts of our anatomy bulge was the engagement of Douglas Whyte on Lucky Red.
Whyte rarely rides for Ng and with the horse drawn barrier 3 and over 1000 metres, this could well be a winning combination.
In fact, hell, we’ll tip it to win and drink to that.
Others from his stable?
In race 1, he has Brett Prebble engaged to ride Dr. Union over 1200 metres and with the horse being drawn barrier 10, we’re not having a bar of it.
An outside barrier in Happy Valley over these sprint distances can easily have a horse planted three-wide and with your money going down the crapper.
He has Ice Fire running over a mile and with Eddie Lai on it, but, it doesn’t fill us with confidence.
What does take our fancy in this race is the Dennis Yip trained and Brett Prebble ridden Rocket And Gold – but wait!.
We’d rather sit this race out just to watch trainer Richard Gibson’s first runner in Hong Kong – Fantastisch – go around and ridden by Olivier Doleuze.
Gibson of “Dr Dino” fame is an Internationally – acclaimed trainer and we’re tipping he won’t just be sending a horse around to have it drop it in the handicaps.
Apart from top-weight Lucky Red in the third, Ng has Eddie Lai on Elephant Cheer in the fifth.
We have followed this horse a few times and will do so again BUT only in quinella and quinella place bets.
It’s a very competitive race and with Dougie Whyte jumping on Great Renown for Richard Gibson, it’s a trappy affair.
Gary Ng has Vintage Hussler in the sixth and though drawn well and with Eddie Lai in the saddle, we keep looking at the Caspar Fownes-trained Green Zone.
Having raced as Sparkle in Sydney, win, lose or draw, keep following the horse this season.
And that’s it for Gary Ng’s runner.
But before that, a tip: Jumbo Gold in the last.
What do we reckon for Gary Ng? A win in race 3 and place chances in races 5 and 6.
