Jackpot Delight called up for Cathay Pacific Hong Kong Vase
1 December 2009
Purple Moon has withdrawn from the Cathay Pacific Hong Kong Vase and will be replaced by Hong Kong runner Jackpot Delight.
Jackpot Delight ran second in the 2008 Mercedes-Benz Hong Kong Derby and last year was invited to contest the CXHK Vase.
He won the Sha Tin Mile Trophy, the very final race of last season, by a neck from Cathay Pacific Hong Kong Cup runner, Mr Medici, who on that occasion was in receipt of 11lbs.
On Tuesday 1 December, Jackpot Delight displayed his current wellbeing with a positive showing in a barrier trial on the Sha Tin turf.
In the same trial, Unique Jewellery, who had been selected for the Cathay Pacific Hong Kong Cup, unfortunately bled from both nostrils and has withdrawn from the Cup.
