Winning Week for Wrote

Media Release - Thursday January 5

Dennis Yip’s promising second starter, Top Top Tea, continued a good run for his sire Wrote when winning the Class 4 Mut Wah Handicap (1200m) at Happy Valley on Wednesday.

In the process, the talented four-year-old carried Brazilian jockey Ruan Maia to his first victory since October 26 following 70 consecutive losses.

“I’m very happy because it’s been two months without a winner, but I keep working and keep my head up. Sometimes, the right horse comes to your hand, and this one ran well first start from a bad draw,” Maia said.

“He ran nicely then, so I was 100 per cent confident he could win. I’m so happy with this win.”

Earlier on the card the Danny Shum trained debutant Chill Chibi, also by Wrote, went within  a short head of winning the Class 4 Tsun Yip Handicap (1650m) after momentarily being held-up.
