PURTON RECORDS ANOTHER LANDMARK VICTORY

By Graham Potter | Sunday, April 19, 2026

Zac Purton reached another milestone victory of one hundred wins for the season at Sha Tin on Sunday and, while it was entirely predictable, that did not detract from the enormity of his achievement as he continued his all-conquering presence in one of the most competitive racing precincts in the world.

It is the tenth season in succession that Purton has brought the up his ‘ton’ and the eleventh season overall.
Purton rode 112 winners in the 2013/14 season … and then crept over the line with 107 winners in the 2016/17 season and never looked back from there, posting over one hundred winners in every season since then … 136, 168, 147, 125, 136, 179, 130 and then 138 in the 2024/25 season. Now he has done it again.

Purton stands on exactly one hundred winners … and counting … for the current season.
