Vincent Ho Chak-yiu is confident The Boom Box has plenty more to give after he overcame a wide gate and some testing Sha Tin conditions to remain unbeaten on Sunday.
On a cold and blustery winter’s day at Sha Tin, The Boom Box travelled towards the back of the field before unleashing what is becoming his trademark finishing burst to notch his third win from as many starts.
“Today it’s tough with all of the wind coming from the outside. He is better than what [we saw today] because it’s a bit tough for us, but the positive side is that he is so switched off now,” said Ho of The Boom Box, who has had to overcome double-figure draws in all three of his starts.
“He doesn’t pull behind horses in the field any more, so we’ll see how he pulls up and then decide for the future.”
THE BOOM BOX was an $85,000 yearling purchase for Dave Mee at Pinhook Bloodstock International
