Karis Teetan bagged his first treble of the season and continued his recent run of good form at Sha Tin on Sunday.

After landing a brace at Happy Valley’s midweek meeting, Teetan kept the momentum going on Sunday with wins on Wunderbar, Winning Data and Global Harmony.

“I’m pleased. It was a nice day, and you have to take these opportunities with both hands,” Teetan said. “You take it day by day, but I appreciate the support I’ve been getting, and I just hope it carries on.”

The first of Teetan’s victories came aboard the John Size-trained debutant, Wunderbar, who stuck on gamely in the Class Four Kate Tokyo Handicap (1,000m).

“With Mr Size, you never know what you’re going to get on, right?” Teetan said. “It’s just good to ride for him. I picked this horse out, and he gave me a different feel today – the gate opened and he just knew it was business.

“When [Multisuper] came next to me, some horses can sort of give up, but he sort of found a bit more encouragement himself and went with it. He’s a nice horse.”

It was not quite as smooth sailing for the Mauritian rider on Winning Data in the Class Four La Colline Handicap (1,400m). Settling in midfield, Teetan was forced to wait patiently for a gap on the four-year-old, before edging clear in the closing stages.

“He ran a great race last time at Happy Valley. After that, we thought 1,400m here would suit,” Teetan said. “He was still a bit keen with the blinkers on, but I think he just needs to learn how to race. I thought it was a good win today.”

The 33-year-old brought up his third win of the day on the David Hayes-trained Global Harmony in the Class Three La Estephe Handicap (1,200m). Winless from five outings, the gelding had recorded victories in all three of his barrier trials this term before returning with a win on Sunday.

“His trials have been really good, and he’s been working well. David had him in tip-top condition today, and he won really well. I think he has improvement to come,” Teetan said.

Teetan’s victory aboard Global Harmony took him to 14 wins for the season, behind only Zac Purton (21) and Hugh Bowman (20), and also delivered trainer David Hayes with a timely double.

“Karis gave him a wonderful ride. He showed nice acceleration, and I think he’s got a good future,” Hayes said.

After making the journey to Melbourne to watch family-owned Apulia, who was narrowly denied in Saturday’s Group One Victoria Derby (2,500m) at Flemington, Wide Blue Yonder and Global Harmony ensured Hayes did not leave Sha Tin empty-handed.

“There didn’t look a lot of pace and this horse doesn’t like horses around him,” Hayes said of the Class Four Canmake Tokyo Handicap (1,600m) winner, Wide Blue Yonder. “I said to the jockey, ‘if there’s no pace and you’re going to get caught wide, then lead’, and it worked.”
