ZacPurton
Zac Purton's nine Hong Kong Champion Jockey titles, won between 2013/14 and 2025/26, define a Flat racing career built on repeat success.
The story so far
Nine Hong Kong Champion Jockey titles sit at the heart of Zac Purton's record, a sequence stretching from 2013/14 to 2025/26. The Australian rides Flat, and his reputation rests on repeating the same outcome season after season rather than on one breakout year. Nothing in the rest of his profile matters as much as that recurring title.
The road there was not a single leap. Purton is 43, an Australian who has made Hong Kong his racing home, and the horses he has partnered map the distance travelled: Beauty Generation, Ambitious Dragon, Little Bridge, Military Attack, Ka Ying Rising. Holding a championship challenge against rivals of that calibre, year after year, is what those titles represent for him.
