HONG KONG Excited ahead of a FWD Champions Day reunion with champion Golden Sixty on April 28, Vincent Ho gained vital confidence and fitness with his first double in almost three months at Sha Tin on April 14.

Sidelined after a fall on Jan 24, Ho returned to race riding at Happy Valley on April 10 and, following a couple of luckless rides, was elated after successfully joining forces with long-time ally Francis Lui aboard Baby Crystal in the Class 3 Dongsinan Handicap (1,000m) and Holy Lake in the Class 3 Dongcheng District Handicap (1,600m).
