Not really a racing update as such. It's about time we got to bet into their pools though.
UK punters could bet into HK pools next year by Howard Wright BRITISH punters could be betting straight into Hong Kong's huge raceday pools by this time next year, according to Hong Kong Jockey Club chief Winfried Engelbrecht-Bresges, who revealed that he has been talking to British betting operators, including major bookmakers such as Ladbrokes, about the prospect. He said: “We have had some very good discussions but first we have to concentrate on technical issues, and that could take another six months. “I'm encouraged that we could be thinking of a proper product launch for co-mingling from the UK and around the world soon after the start of our 2008-9 season, say in September.” The idea would be to promote Hong Kong's exotic-bet pools, Engelbrecht-Bresges said, pointing out that the triple trio was staged every raceday with a guaranteed pool of around £550,000, and the jackpot grossed £1 million every other week. He added: “Our great differential with the rest of the world is the size of our pools, so where we have the chance to stress that differential, we want to take it.” Engelbrecht-Bresges admitted that the co-mingled contribution from overseas punters might be small in the first instance, compared with the size of the pool. However, he added: “This is all about branding and differentiation, commercially and internationally. It's about a marquee product, with superior information that no other racing jurisdiction in the world provides on a 78-meeting programme. We don't want to be number 22 or 23 on the list of products you might find in a UK betting shop.” Hong Kong will be offering live pictures on the co-mingled races; they need to be shown in betting shops for maximum effect, and that means talking to bookmakers and SIS. Prospects for live UK racing being shown on any significant scale in Hong Kong are less bright, partly becauseof time differences but largely because Engelbrecht-Bresges and his team are still trying to persuade the government to increase from just ten races the amount of overseas racing allowed to be shown. He said: “At the moment, these ten races have to beon days when we are racing, but the government has accepted that some flexibility is needed, and I hope we will soon be allowed to bring in races from abroad on non-racedays.” |
Waiting for news on Green in Blue..... I can't watch it but heard it was pretty bad.
Feel better...... South China Elite, Time Supreme and Fokine. Congrats to Bullish Cash on his first win! Sorry to ummm, anyone who played Supreme Gains but what were you thinking? Syllabus, the kindest horse in HK, was 5th... got points and keeps his status. Whew! Good luck to Bullish Win on Boxing Day, and to who i think is the lowest rated horse over there, Challenger (rated 17:eek: ). All he needs is to be in the top 5..... here's hoping for a little miracle. Cheers to Viva (I am not his rabbit!) Macau for winning his barrier trial (batch 1)..... http://www.hkjc.com/english/press/btrs.asp Bullish Luck is coming along. :) |
He didnt make it.

Trackwork notes, SCMP.....
RACE TEN, RATED 95+ (G3), 1,400 METRES Floral Pegasus zoomed home over the top of Royal Prince in their final workout on Saturday. Joyful Winner looks in good shape and went very nicely under Gerald Mosse in his major gallop this week. Able One has been an improver and there was plenty to like about the way he hit the line at the end of a gallop under Shane Dye on Saturday. River Jordan has also been impressive in his work, with Darren Beadman riding him in each of his recent workouts. Danacourt's work has pleased, while Pocket Money has recovered from a setback and worked strongly following a quiet AWT trial. |

FLORAL PEGASUS began awkwardly, causing Apprentice K L Chui, its rider, to become unbalanced. SUNNY POWER was slow to begin. Shortly after the start, JOYFUL WINNER was crowded for room between ABLE ONE and POCKET MONEY. In the early stages, MY CHOICE, AMBITIOUS GENERAL and ABLE ONE were taken across behind runners. Also in the early stages when racing without cover, POCKET MONEY proved difficult to settle. On straightening, VIVA MACAU was carried wider by FLORAL PEGASUS which shifted out into clear running. B Prebble (ROYAL PRINCE) said in his opinion the horse poor performance was attributable to the drop back in distance and the fact that it got left flat-footed when the tempo of the race quickened making the Home Turn. ROYAL PRINCE was sent for an official veterinary inspection. A veterinary inspection of ROYAL PRINCE after the race did not show any significant findings. SUNNY POWER, POCKET MONEY and DOWN TOWN were sent for sampling. |

Sunday, January 06, 2008 Aitken and Bell in scintillating form SHIHAM RAMIZ Followers of leading South China Morning Post's Racing tipsters Alan Aitken and John Bell went home with two of the big exotics at the New Year's Day meeting, with Aitken landing the 183-1 treble with his top selections and Bell the third double trio at odds of more than 3,900-1. It was a mighty finish to the first meeting of 2008 for Aitken, our chief racing writer and Bell, our resident form analyst-journalist. Between the pair they correctly found seven winners as top selections. Aitken, aka Hats, tipped the $1,277.50 quinella in race seven as well as the $1,844 treble, while Bell found the three placegetters from his four selections in both races nine and 10 (the two legs of the third DT). The feature race, the Chinese Club Challenge Cup (Pocket Money 1, Down Town 2, Floral Pegasus 3) was the primary source of the big dividends, with Bell's second selection Down Town injecting the value into all multiples. The race 10 Quinella paid $1,681, the Trio $2,441 while the third double trio paid $39,034 for a $10 investment. Aitken's front page tipping features have been almost gild-edged this season and so it proved once again, with Pocket Money bravely seeing off the high-class field, despite an unfortunate wide trip. The John Size-trained Pocket Money paid a win dividend of $83.50. The in-form tipster landed six winners on December 23 meeting at Sha Tin and another three on December 26 . His other winners at this meeting were My Home Town ($22.50, second best bet), Craig's Dragon ($35, best bet) and Congratulation ($71). That result took him to the top of the Straight Bets poll, both by number of winners and profitability. Bell's winners also included My Home Town and Craig's Dragon, as well as his best bet of the day Never Look Back ($35). Aitken and Bell are dominating the tips panel this term, almost across the board. Craig's Dragon was Aitken's 17th winning best bet (Nap) of the term, at a profit of $216.50 (surveyed on $10 win only investments). His four winners for the day took him to 76 with a profit of $119.00. John Bell's big afternoon cemented his place in the quinella standings, adding four more for the programme to take his season's tally to 80, with followers who have been level staking his quinellas at $10 each ($60 per race) now showing a profit of $1,419 after 31 meetings. Bell is also looming dangerously on the Trio poll, where he currently sits second to statistics editor Vincent Wong (Shannon).

(For fun) R1... I don't care how good Perfect Athlete looks, how can you pass up a name like Pleasure Pleasure? :D His only win this season was with Dye up... maybe he likes him. Hell, Bulldozer only behaved for two jockeys..... R1, PP / Gen Speed R2..... Bold Champion, winner - prettiest tail award for the night :eek: , with Brettie up. Workout partner to Bite My Dust.... I think they're both improving. Spirit of Lo Pan is probably the favorite here..... R3.....God I love this field, especially the old guys. Natural Blitz and Scintillation might not be as good as they once were but Scintillation has a shot. Planet Ruler is an icon. Doesn't win much these days but whatever. Country Music has been hurt soooo many times now it's just sad. One guess who trains him. :mad: I think Gallant is right with her Gains theory and this one is improving. Fifty Fifty has been having a really nice season. Don't think as much of him as the gentlemen (he's pretty though, nice dark boy :D ) BUT I think it might be one of those (kinda sad) changing of the guard races and besides, he DOES like coming in 2nd. My heart is not in this but Friendly Gains / Fifty Fifty. R4.....As You Wish beat the crap outta him in the past but Couldn't Care Less who lives up to his name on occassion is my boy. NO objectivity... good luck to him. R5.....Prideoftheorient, who was workout partner to Green in Blue (rest in peace, good boy). He should be at decent odds. R6..... All the Wong boys are crazy. Tossup between Floral Nirvana and Industrial Success with Courageousheart right behind. R8..... Even though Leung is up, Reunion. R8... Come home safe, First Knight. It's his 93rd start. No pick. R9... All the buzz is about Mariachi but I'll stick with First Baby, who had a nice season last year, and Eight Plus Nine, who i think is underated. R10..... Nice, nice field with Supreme gains a standby starter. Sentimental here...... He Can Tango and Kindacross UNLESS Supreme gains goes in..... he'd win. Come home safe boys. Barrier trials (Helene Brilliant 2nd in batch 1..... yea!) http://www.hkjc.com/english/press/btrs.asp |

An inquiry into the reason for AMPLE GAINS being checked after the 150 Metres was adjourned to a date to be fixed. At the 100 Metres, INSPIRATION, which was having difficulty obtaining clear running, was hampered and bumped on two occasions by GALLANT LION (S Dye) which was shifting out to obtain clear running. S Dye was reprimanded and told to exercise greater care. S Dye was found guilty of a charge of careless riding [Rule 100(1)] in that near the winning post he permitted his mount to shift out when not clear of FULL OF JOY, causing that horse to lose its rightful running and be checked. S Dye was suspended from riding in races for a period to expire on Thursday 17 January 2008 on which day he may resume race riding (2 Hong Kong racedays). The commencement of the suspension was deferred until after the Happy Valley racemeeting next Wednesday 9 January 2008. In addition, S Dye was fined $20,000 in lieu of a suspension for a period incorporating one further raceday. Throughout the race, LOTZATOW and FULL OF JOY travelled wide and without cover. When questioned, D Beadman (INSPIRATION) said he had been instructed to ensure his mount had cover and was not ridden along to go forward. He said because of this he rode INSPIRATION quietly in the early stages and obtained a position behind BEAR MACHO which he believed would have been racing about midfield. He said after the 1000 Metres the tempo of the race steadied when GREAT GUY allowed REGENCY DRAGON to cross to race outside the leader. He said when this occurred, INSPIRATION, which was proving difficult to settle, was checked away from the heels of BEAR MACHO and lost further ground and as a consequence travelled further back in the field. He said INSPIRATION continued to travel keenly after this. He said in the Straight INSPIRATION was held up for clear running, however, gave him the feeling that it would not close the race off strongly because of the manner in which it had travelled in the early part of the race. The Stewards will speak with Mr J Moore, trainer of INSPIRATION, at a date to be fixed. INSPIRATION, HE CAN TANGO and WEI HAI INVINCIBLE were sent for sampling. |
Geez, I didn't realize that Fifty Fifty went crazy.....
One of the ponies had to be put down. I don't have the name, but FF threw off his rider twice, galloped the course and slammed into another horse. :( |
