Paul O’Sullivan attributed Fairy Floss’ (NZ) (Guillotine) victory in the Class 4 Ping Tin Handicap at Sha Tin on Sunday, the grey’s fourth success from his past six starts, to maturity and the genius of rider Joao Moreira, who brought up a double on the Guillotine gelding.
“He’s a horse who took a long time to adjust to Hong Kong,” O’Sullivan said. “He’s more relaxed now and he’s found his groove. It was a good solid win today and he had a lot against him. He was out in the draw (gate 14) and it was actually an excellent ride by Joao Moreira.
“That’s the end of the season for him now, but he’s done a great job.”
O’Sullivan is enjoying a steady run in Hong Kong this season with 23 wins to his name, with just ten meetings left before the end of the season on July 14.
