I don't agree with it, but i know they have every right to do so. However, i do wish they would print their old names as well as their new ones. It would makes it much more appealing to the european racing fan, especially me who would love to follow Hong Kong racing but i don't know who is who out there of the ex european horses.

The part that you're not understanding is the heat the SCMP guys have gotten in the past six months or so from the HKJC.
Sometimes things are worded carefully but at least they published this.
The HKJC isn't thrilled with certain pieces that they've done and as you know they're VERY powerful.
You go, SCMP!
