Some really good jockeys here (very happy to see Chadwick. The kid is amazing) but ummmm... no Aussies?

Good luck to Matt Chadwick who is the main reason I'm rooting for the Rest of the World team.

For anyone rooting for this team:

SOOOOO happy... Chadwick wins the Silver Saddle, Rest of the World wins!

People who follow HK racing know this kid and his Cinderella story (left at an orphanage...) and know that he is just an amazing rider.

Hope now the rest of the world takes notice!

Thrilled!
