\u3010<\/strong>LUCKY SWEYNESSE<\/strong>\u3011<\/strong> bounces back with Sprint Cup victory<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hong Kong Jockey Club<\/p>\n

\u3010LUCKY SWEYNESSE\u3011 sealed consecutive HK$5.35 million Gr.2 Sprint Cup (1200m) wins on Sunday at Sha Tin for jockey Hugh Bowman and trainer Manfred Man.<\/p>\n

Banishing the memories of back-to-back defeats across his last two outings, \u3010LUCKY SWEYNESSE\u3011 returned in emphatic style on rain dampened ground to round up the field in 1m 09.17s as favourite, while \u3010Invincible Sage\u3011 held on for second with \u3010Flying Ace\u3011 grabbing third.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe needs no introduction. He\u2019s Hong Kong\u2019s best sprinter and he has been for some time. He\u2019s an ultra-consistent horse and it\u2019s an honour to ride horses of this calibre. It was just delightful to get the job done today,\u201d Bowman said.<\/p>\n

Now the earner of HK$74.27 million, \u3010LUCKY SWEYNESSE\u3011 is a remarkable 16-time winner from 24 starts \u2013 including four times at Group 1 level \u2013 and was crowned Hong Kong Champion Sprinter (2022\/23) last season.<\/p>\n

\u3010LUCKY SWEYNESSE\u3011 settled at the rear as \u3010Nervous Witness\u3011 fired to an early lead. Turning into the home straight, Bowman sat patiently aboard the five-year-old before pressing the button in the final furlong to run down a tenacious \u3010Invincible Sage\u3011.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was confident in the run because I thought the pace was frantic early and I was able to get in a really smooth, comfortable rhythm throughout. I knew what I had underneath me when I asked him to extend,\u201d Bowman said.<\/p>\n

\u3010LUCKY SWEYNESSE\u3011 finished sixth in the HK$13 million Gr.1 Centenary Sprint Cup (1200m) and fifth in the HK$13 million Gr.1 Queen\u2019s Silver Jubilee Cup (1400m) before today.<\/p>\n

The 132-rater will now chase consecutive wins in the HK$22 million Gr.1 Chairman\u2019s Sprint Prize (1200m) on FWD Champions Day (Sunday, 28 April).<\/p>\n

\u201cAt this moment, I\u2019m very happy and we will plan for 28th of April, 1200 (metres) for him again. I hope he can keep his form but I think it should be no problem,\u201d Man said.<\/p>\n

\u3010LUCKY SWEYNESSE\u3011 has won three times this term. He captured the HK$26 million Gr.1 LONGINES Hong Kong Sprint (1200m) last December.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe horse normally keeps very well but the last few runs we\u2019ve had a little bit of bad luck and then this race Hugh Bowman rode a good race for us \u2013 more patient,\u201d Man said.<\/p>\n

Fly-in jockey James McDonald will reunite with \u3010LUCKY SWEYNESSE\u3011 next start.<\/p>\n

Trained by David Hall, \u3010Invincible Sage\u3011 made his first appearance at Group 2 level today. \u3010Flying Ace\u3011 is also under Hall\u2019s care.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know \u3010Invincible Sage\u3011 very well and it was no surprise to me to see him perform at the level he did. He\u2019s just got a little bit of maturing to do before he reaches the level of \u3010LUCKY SWEYNESSE\u3011, if he ever does. But he\u2019s a lovely progressive horse as well and it\u2019s good to see him competing so well,\u201d Bowman said.<\/p>\n

\u3010Invincible Sage\u3011 has won three times in Hong Kong, twice under Bowman. The four-year-old placed second in the HK$4.2 million Gr.3 Bauhinia Sprint Trophy Handicap (1000m) last January.<\/p>\n
