Unbeaten Wonder the Best For Magic Man

Meanwhile in Hong Kong, champion jockey Joao Moreira has called unbeaten Courier Wonder (Sacred Falls-Fabulist, by Savabeel) the best youngster he's ridden this season after the 3YO gelding won the D'Aguilar Peak Handicap over 1200m at Sha Tin on Sunday, according to scmp.com. "It's been a while since I've been on top of a nice horse like him. If he keeps on tracking and keeps on learning as he should, he's going to go far – I can tell you that," said Moreira. "It was a bit more difficult because of the weight [133 pounds] on his back and he had the wide gate [eight], so he had to use himself to come across and he did win with something left in hand." Courier Wonder has now won all of his three starts, and he is a full-brother to last Saturday's Gr1 Doncaster placed Icebath (Sacred Falls), as well as being a half-brother to Listed winner NowYouSee (O'Reilly) and to Group 3-placed winner Just Fabulous (O'Reilly). Curious Wonder was a $150,000 yearling from the Waikato Stud draft at the New Zealand Bloodstock National Yearling Sale. "He's a young horse, only a 3YO. He's got plenty to learn and I think there's plenty more to come from him," Moreira said. "It's going to be a bit tougher up in class, but I really believe he has it there."
