Beadman jumps ship :eek: as Moore duo under cloud

Alan Aitken

John Moore's retained jockey, Darren Beadman, yesterday abandoned 2009 Hong Kong Sprint runner-up One World and switched to unheralded Let Me Fight after an injury cloud appeared over the prospects of both One World and star miler Able One ahead of Sunday's internationals.
One World was regarded as Moore's best chance to win the Sprint, after beating all bar Sacred Kingdom last year and coming into the race as a last-start dead-heat winner of the Jockey Club Sprint.

Along with French Vase runner Board Meeting, the strongly fancied Moore horses are under constant monitoring by the Jockey Club's veterinary department but are expected to run.

Able One, the leading Hong Kong Mile chance expected to challenge Paco Boy for favouritism, became cast in his box earlier in the week and has an abrasion to his left eye, but One World's problems are more significant, with the infection in a capped off-fore elbow spreading down his leg and requiring antibiotics.

"One World developed the problem two or three days ago. The infection spread and we had to open it up on Wednesday and drain it," Moore said. "The antibiotics did put him in doubt at that time, but with all the work that has been done on it and looking at him today, I think he will be OK to run. We had intended to work him on the grass this morning and will do that Friday [today] instead, but Darren is switching to Let Me Fight. We have to have reservations now whether One World will produce his form after what has happened, and especially with having been treated with antibiotics."

Able One was out on the track yesterday, working in pacifiers to protect the eye from sun, wind and any material thrown up by the all-weather training surface. "Darren said he was apprehensive in his work, as he'd never had pacifiers on before, but he went through his paces all right and we don't expect him to be affected on Sunday. He's missed no work."

The Ellie Lellouche-trained stayer Board Meeting was found to have a quarter crack in the off-fore hoof on Wednesday, with some associated infection, but has been comfortable since being reshod with heart-bar plates to relieve the pressure.

CX HK Sprint - Jockey Douglas Whyte substituted as rider of GREEN BIRDIE

10/12/2010

The Stewards have been advised by Officials from New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing that Jockey Mark du Plessis, the declared rider of GREEN BIRDIE in the Cathay Pacific Hong Kong Sprint to be conducted on Sunday, 12 December 2010, was today involved in a race fall in New Zealand and accordingly is not fit to fulfil his riding engagement on GREEN BIRDIE.

Accordingly, the Stewards have approved that Jockey Douglas Whyte be substituted as a rider of GREEN BIRDIE.

Of course no one will actually be showing one of the best days of racing but you can listen here (and the HKJC is fantastic about putting up repolays immediately)...

Horse Withdrawal for 12/12/2010 meeting - Race 3 Horse 6 JACKPOT DELIGHT and Race 4 Horse 14 JOSHUA TREE have been scratched

12/12/2010

Race Changes

3 Horse 6 JACKPOT DELIGHT Scratched.
4 Horse 14 JOSHUA TREE Scratched.

Can't wait to watch these races when I get home from work tonight.

Hope Paco Boy ends his career on a high note. :)

Wow JJ!!!

JJ wins, Rocket Man 2nd, Sacred Kingdom 3rd.

Oh Mastry won the Vase.

Wish you were around.

An absolutely masterful job training to get the win for J J The Jet Plane, and it was an honest win as well, no doubt. From stardom, to mediocrity, to home, to success back home, to international glory. A long, long, long road to get him to this point...very happy for the connections who have stayed with him. And kinda nice to see the win go for a non-foreign trainer of a South African horse, as he ended up back with Lucky Houdalakis.

Do I Hear Cow Bells?????????????????......Booo to the MoooLooo's ;-)

Looking forward to seeing Snow Fairy race in 2011, she's definitely right there in the class of a Ouija Board. Now that she has proven she can handle a top class field at 2000m, options are wide open for her. Expect her to keep adding to her resume.

It was nice, not too often you can leave the barns of a De kock and or Hannon and go on to win a race like this one. Honourable mention to Rocket Man who also ran a winning race.

... and to Sacred Kingdom who, lest we forget, was near-death a while ago.

A shame about Able One being withdrawn at the last possible minute.

Cheers to Beauty Flash... a very nice win and always good to see the locals do well (and yes I know he's fro NZ ed!). :)

Snow Fairy...

I stand by my nominees for Diva of the World for 2011. :tro:

http://www.derbytrail.com/forums/showthread.php?t=38634

Fantastic races.

Why oh why do we not get to see them on TVG?

You don't have to convince me SC! Agree 100%. As silly as it sounded a month ago, I was serious when I said she will be the most exciting horse to race next year.

http://www.derbytrail.com/forums/showthread.php?t=39560

I really think she is going to show she may be even better than the great Ouija Board. Cheers!

:tro: :)

Sorry I didn't post here at all after that. I had all the races on Tivo, so I didn't want to come in here and see any results.

They were great races. Snow Fairy and JJ were the obvious highlights.

It was great to see Beauty Flash win as well - I was at the track when he won his maiden at Te Rapa, beating Herculian Prince by 5 lengths. A shame Paco Boy flopped so badly though. :( They must be wishing they didn't run.

Sorry for being needy. :D

Yeah a shame about Paco Boy but the one I really feel terrible for is Able One. HIs connections must have been devastated but good for Beadman for doing the right thing.
