00:00The best in the world? No doubt at times that's been the case.
00:04But one thing that can't be denied is Zac Burton's legendary status amongst the all-time greats of Hong Kong racing.
00:11The Australian native will be the seven-time champion jockey for Hong Kong by season's end, having ridden more than 1,700 winners.
00:19He's closing in on the great Douglas White's record of 1,813, which once seemed as untouchable as Cal Ripken Jr.'s famed 2,632 straight major league games.
00:29His association with the stars of Hong Kong turf like Aero Velocity, Exultant and Beauty Generation are now written in racing folklore.
00:37But Burton himself was exuberant as ever, claiming his second Hong Kong derby this season aboard Massive Sovereign.
00:43Massive Sovereign. He's two lengths away. Ka Ying Generation. Massive Sovereign. Galaxy Patch. Sovereign. Massive Sovereign. He wins it.
00:52Massive Sovereign for Zac Burton. In debtorship win that derby.
00:56Yes, this is the man in the Hong Kong jockey ranks and Burton's stranglehold on that title doesn't look like changing anytime soon.
