Retired... Puerto Rico, former AOB runner who was shipped to Hong Kong a couple of years ago and who went downhill fast.
He started with a Class 1 rating and with one exception in 24 starts (he was 3rd) was never better than 8th and usually last. From Class 1 to a rating of 28. Sad stuff.
He had been pretty nice... 2 wins at the Curragh at 2 and at 3, once breating home a field of 26. 2 0 2 of 6 with AOB.
Hope he gets to start a new career.
Happy retirement. About time...
Retired as well... Spy King, Never Look Back, Palais d'Or, Rice Field, Keen Taker, Supurb Gains,.
Race 7 on Sunday... Dynamic Blitz and Warrior!
Friday barrier trials.... Jackpot Delight wins batch 1!
Good luck to the sole Hong Kong Raider, aka the Hong Kong Bomb, tomorrow.
