Tony Millard’s dirt specialist Super Jockey put in a dominant display to land the US$700,000 Gr1 Korea Sprint in Seoul on Sunday.

Millard’s trailblazer was the first Hong Kong runner to race on South Korean soil and was superbly steered by jockey Karis Teetan.

Super Jockey is being considered for another visit to Dubai for.
