Magic Winner for Albert in Hong Kong

Tara Madgwick - Monday February 20
The John Size trained Magic Albert three year-old G-One Winning made it two wins in as many starts when he scored comfortably at Sha Tin on Sunday.

An impressive winner on debut at the same venue on January 15, G-One Winning produced another good effort to lug 59.5kg to victory over 1400 metres as a well backed favourite with champion jockey Douglas Whyte on board.

"He's very professional and made improvement from his first run," Whyte told South China Morning Post.

"He's a lovely individual, quite a big horse to sit on, and there's plenty to work with there."

G-One Winning (pictured) was bred by Rosari Farm up in Queensland and was sold as weanling at the Gold Coast for $30,000 before being re-offered for sale by Wellfield Lodge at the 2010 NZB Select Yearling Sale where he fetched $100,000.

G-One Winning is a half-brother to South African Group III winner Queen's Command and is one of three winners from the Unbridled's Song (USA) mare Judicial Queen.

Another interesting winner for Magic Albert last week was four year-old mare Margene, who won her third race from seven starts when saluting at Canterbury on Friday night for the Chris Waller stable.

Margene is a three-quarter sister-in-blood to dual Group I winner Albert the Fat and is one of 11 winners from his grand-mother Symphonetta.
