It might not have been the all-conquering afternoon that Brett Prebble had in mind yesterday, but the Australian carried on his winning streak from midweek to bag a treble at Sha Tin.
Prebble looked capable of winning five or six on paper after snaring four at Happy Valley on Wednesday night, but has managed to open a small gap at the head of the jockeys' table after having to make do with three.

"I'm happy - I've gone to the races plenty of times with even better books than that and come away without a winner, so there's no way I'm not happy with three," said Prebble after landing promising Morning Green and Algarve for David Hall and Fat Choy Ichiban for Dennis Yip Chor-hong to go to 20 wins and a break of five over suspended seven-pound claimer Keith Yeung Ming-lun.

Hall has also been in sparkling form and moved into second place behind John Moore in the trainers' race after two impressive, but nevertheless different efforts from his pair of Encosta De Lago youngsters.

"Algarve is just a beautiful racehorse. I know he gives Brett a great feeling riding him, but as a trainer watching from the stand you get a great feeling with this horse, too," he said after the four-year-old had come from last to justify his short odds in the final event.

"He's so relaxed and has a great turn of foot. Sure, it isn't the greatest attribute getting out of his ground the way he has been, he can't make his own luck like a front runner, but he is so push button.

"As he goes further, I hope he can draw a better gate and be a bit closer, but I like him, he's a progressive horse."
