The January Cup. at the happiest place on earth!

Can't wait!

Now I know everyone knows the oft-repeated story surrounding the kindest horse in HK. No need to repeat that.

Don't know if Syllabus is up for this but good luck to him and to Noble C cause I'm a big fan, to Famous Dancer who(m) Eric Saint-Martin once refused to ride cause he didn't feel right (he's done that quite a few times.... good for him), to Gallant's boy Supreme Gains and to all the lower-level Class 1 boyz!

Analysis to come.....
