A day of milestones at Sha Tin on Sunday

Zac Purton notched up his 100th win this season, John Size trained a quartet and Karis Teetan rode a treble.

Teetan's wins came on John Size runners and included the win on Nautical Force in the last race, the Fostering an Enabling and Inclusive Society Handicap over 1800m.  Nautical Force used to be trained in Ireland by Johnny Murtagh where he had two wins and two second in seven starts. 

He's been in Hong Kong since last October in John Size's care and has had a number of trials prior to his first start on Sunday where he went off on 15.0.  It was a great ride from Teetan who managed to squeeze between horses and then let the horse do the rest for which he also earned a PP Bonus of HK$1.5 million.

Ka Ying Generation was second and there was a very tight photo for third between Joy of Spring and Gentlemen Legacy.
