28 Sep Diamond Legend on the board in HK

Posted at 00:23h in Uncategorized by

Trainer Paul O’Sullivan was pleased to get a win from Diamond Legend (More Than Ready x Aqua D’Amore), who scored his first Hong Kong win at start 11 under Sam Clipperton in the Class 4 Begonia Handicap (1200m) at Happy Valley on Wednesday night. 

The blueblood who was born at Amarina Farm in 2012 is by More Than Ready out of Group One winner Aqua d’Amore.  He had won two of his three starts in New Zealand but had struggled to adapt to Hong Kong life since his arrival in March, 2016.

“He’s a nice horse now, but he took a long time to acclimatise” O’Sullivan said. “The owners have been very patient. He started to come around last season though, his last run was good and his trial was solid. My only concern today was the barrier (11), but that didn’t end up being an issue as he went back and there was pace on.

“I don’t think the field today was too strong, but I think he’s the sort of horse who will hold his own up in Class 3. He’s a fair way down at the moment and he’s still developing but in time, he’ll get there.” -HKJC
