As if the Hong Kong racing scene wasn’t already exciting, the head-to-head matchup of João Moreira and Zac Purton is a continuous headline in itself as the star duo trade wins in a race to the top of the Hong Kong Jockey Championship title for 2019-20.

Moreira sat two wins behind Purton heading into Sunday night’s meeting but evened the score with a treble, saluting aboard four-year-old Inner Flame.

Speaking to the to local press, Moreira remained a closed-book about claiming this year’s jockey championship.

“Zac can’t say he’s going to be the winner and neither can I because we don’t know what’s going to happen in the next couple of weeks and months,” he said.

Moreira and Purton have claimed the last six jockey championships between them. Should Purton take out this years championship title, it would deliver the Australian expat a coveted three-peat.

Moreria won three consecutive titles from 2015 – 2017.
