Emma Jayne????
 
I haven't been keeping up with HK racing with the FairGrounds opened. How is Emma Jayne faring over there?
Miss seeing her in the Paddock at the FG, but good for her to be invited there, hope she is making an impact.

my miss storm cat 03-05-2008 07:03 PM

Off the top of my head I can tell you she hasn't had a winner YET, but she's picked up some nice mounts.

Anthony and Shane leaving hasn't hurt her.....

She's hit the board maybe 15 times or so (?).

Will post it when she wins! :)

my miss storm cat 03-05-2008 10:51 PM

Oh my! Helene Brilliant and one of the Suprmems in the same race?

Not sure what happened with Clovis.

Real Surprise... injured while being transported to the track. Hope he's alright.

Can't watch the replay... hope Fortune Wheel is still with us.

Passed vet exam... Go Britannia.

Bullish Luck watch... swimming, galloping, trotting. It's all good. :)

Race 10 (454) - 9 March 2008 Sha Tin Race Meeting

6 March 2008

At declaration time Apprentice K T Yeung was declared as the rider of SUNNY KING in the Chai Wan Handicap. Subsequently E Saint-Martin contacted the Stewards advising that it was his belief that he had been formally engaged to ride SUNNY KING in this race and requested the Stewards to adjudicate over his claim that he should be permitted to fulfil the engagement on SUNNY KING.

The Stewards this afternoon interviewed E Saint-Martin and Mr F C Lor, assistant trainer to Mr J Moore, trainer of SUNNY KING. As Mr Moore is currently in Dubai, evidence was taken from him by telephone.

After having considered the evidence before them, the Stewards formed the opinion that E Saint-Martin had not properly committed to ride SUNNY KING in this race prior to Apprentice Yeung being engaged to ride the horse and accordingly ruled that Apprentice Yeung fulfil the riding engagement.

Thank you MMSC !
Gald to hear she's hit the board, here's hoping she gets a win.

my miss storm cat 03-08-2008 11:18 AM

Hope so too.

She's got a mount in the baby race... shortest field I've ever seen. Anything can happen.


I think her best mount tonight (tomorrow) is The Witches Broom in the 8th. She's been the one to work him and he's shown some spark in barrier trials..... could be it. It won't be easy... Floral Nirvana, Victory Treasure and Industrial Express are in the same race and they're pretty decent. You never know though...

(Poor Puerto Rico is in that one too... always root for him but he really doesn't seem to like it over there poor guy). :D

Her record to date is 0-4-2-3-5 (5th place matters cause of the points) out of 56.

We shall see. :)

I know this is late but As a loyal Hong Kong racing fan, congrats to Viva Pataca for making HK proud in his race in Dubai. The winner was probably not going to be caught anyway but I thought Beadman could have rode him a little better to atleast give him a better chance of catching that filly. Nevertheless Viva Pataca made Hong Kong proud, and once again shows that their horses should be respected wherever they race.

Nevertheless Viva Pataca made Hong Kong proud, and once again shows that their horses should be respected wherever they race.

I'm thinking Dr. Ho might agree with you...

Excerpt, SCMP...

Viva Pataca's owner, Stanley Ho Hung-sun, seemed disappointed with finishing second, but jockey Darren Beadman told him to be proud of Hong Kong's representative in his first foray on foreign soil.

"Dr Ho, that was a tremendous run, he's done you proud," Beadman said. "I really have no excuses. He crossed nicely from the wide barrier, there was a lot of speed on and he had cover all the way.

"We moved into the race nicely, always having cover and when I produced him to the outside he quickened up beautifully."

Beadman said that as the field charged to the championship furlong, the final 200 metres, he thought Viva Pataca would emulate Vengeance Of Rain, who lifted the Sheema Classic last year off a much slower tempo.

"He came to win the race but just peaked on his run," Beadman said. "The filly had a much easier run and she's drawn away from us in the final stages. I think she must be a pretty good filly, by the same token," the jockey added.

Trainer John Moore was pleased his four-time Group One winner had performed creditably, but admitted feeling a little empty after beating all but the Mike de Kock-trained four-year-old.

"You know me, I don't like running second, you don't come all this way with the goal of running second - I want to win," Moore said.

"But realistically, he's run a great race and reflected great credit on himself, on everyone associated with him, and on Hong Kong racing.

"In the end, the winner has received two kilos from us and had a much better barrier. The weight and the barrier has probably made the difference," the trainer added.


Cheers to the Fab Four from HK. :)

I agree to all the above, except my initial reaction after viewing the race a couple of times is Darren moved a little early on the horse which might have been precipitated by being too far back in the early stages of the race. I didn't have the benefit of having access to a head on but he looked to be covering a bit of ground turning into the straight. Saying that he still probably wouldn't have caught the filly, she is a deserved winner. But it did look like Viva hung just a little inside the 200, when you consider those factors it makes sense. What do you think?

Feel better, Chimera and Rise and Shine.

Good luck with the appeal, Douggie Whyte.

Retired... Dare to Win.

Behave! Wong's Success, R4.:D

Love half the field tonight and I've been on Helene Brilliant all along but i have to be sentimental here..... Hello Pretty. SO glad he and Armada are back. Down Town will be in the mix, as usual. Jackpot Delight is a reeeeally nice up-and-comer..... the forner Hamlet's Ghost.

Good luck to Katy's boy, Joyful Winner. Member of the old guard, I don't think he hits the board but gotta love the old timers. :)

Cruz entered Royal Prince here and withdrew from the Macau Trophy and even though Felix has been hot lately, I'm not seeing it.

Another nice field is R5 with Hail the Storm, Ever Bright, South Breeze and Lu Yue, (my super). (If I were playing, I mean!).

Tough field for Eight Plus Nine in the final but hope he can finish well. Nice horse.....

Come home safe, all of you.

I always thought Armada was a decent type as a potential stks winner, I like his chances tonight; however with D Whyte riding his odds may be too low to offer a true betting chance...Will have to check the tote before investing.

Retired... Always Zieten (we knew that was coming after that last time... happy retirement old guy*****) and "retired"..... Prideoftheorient (who hopefully is still among the living - poor thing).

For Silly Boy fans (... okay, fan as in singular)... entered in R5, dropping back down to Class 5. Maybe he'll get that 3rd win.....

Nice field (the 8th) with some old timers... Natural Blitz, Planet Ruler. Hoping Regency Horse can finally get a win.....

Good luck to Eight Plus Nine in the 8th... Beadman up for the first time. Nice horse who just can't put it together.

R10... be still my heart, Bullish Win. :) :cool: Do it for Wong Wing (oh sigh!). :D

Horsie of note... Visionario in R11 (but Industrial Marvel is my pick).

***** Excerpt, incidents report...

March 30th

At the 350 Metres, TELECOM TYCOON was steadied and shifted out to avoid the heels of ALWAYS ZIETEN which commenced to give ground quickly. At the 250 Metres, KINGSTON GLORY was steadied away from the heels of FILEBO which in the Straight hung in and at this time shifted ground. Apprentice K L Chui (SUPER POWER) said the intention had been to have the horse ridden in a forward position from the wide draw. He said at its last start SUPER POWER was slow to muster speed and travelled in a rearward position. He said today despite being ridden along in the early stages SUPER POWER was again slow to muster speed, however, then travelled comfortably in a position behind midfield. He said in the Home Straight SUPER POWER obtained clear running, however, was disappointing in the manner in which it closed the race off. SUPER POWER was sent for an official veterinary inspection and sampling. After the race, SUPER POWER was examined by the Veterinary Officer. He said an endoscopic examination showed a substantial amount of mucopus in the horse's trachea. ALWAYS ZIETEN was sent for an official veterinary inspection. After the race, ALWAYS ZIETEN was examined by the Veterinary Officer. He said the horse was displaying an irregular heart rhythm and an endoscopic examination showed a substantial amount of blood in the horse's trachea. As this is the second occasion on which ALWAYS ZIETEN has suffered an irregular heart rhythm, the rules require the horse be barred from racing for a period of 6 months. However, as ALWAYS ZIETEN is a 10 year old, the horse will under the rules be compulsorily retired before this period of embargo expires.

I was up all night watching HK racing. zzz. :confused: I guess Holi Ravioli looked the best on the card. Got lucky with a few picks, overall I'm pretty sleepy but atleast I am not broke.

Good luck to Amo in R 6 tomorrow.... 9 years old and hasn't won lately. A bit of of buzz on Kingifly... hope he beats him home. Nunes up for the first time but aaaah well we can't have everything go right in life now, can we? :D

Nice field in R7... Diamond Supreme and Trulli (Brettie up... swoon) in either order/ Tiger Ridge (oh yes he can..... like this one much better than Wine Win or Cassa, even if it's been a while).

Come home safe, kids.

It means that it doesn't allow the trachea to open to it's full extent, which means the horse cannot breath as easily. Usually referred to as 'roaring' or 'making a noise'.

I cannot remember how they are graded, but I have a feeling it goes up to grade 4 (someone correct me if I'm wrong).

This article will be able to explain it much better:

my miss storm cat 04-29-2008 11:46 AM

Oh okay thanks... I've heard the expression but wasn't sure if this was the same (as a roarer).

Feel better Perfect Smile.
