The (annual) official and amazing Hong Kong...

... off-season update thread (you know you want it)!

I'm only going to list retirements for now but will catch up and post new horses, new names, newly gielded and all the other exciting information that everyone wants to know soon.

To begin with... maybe they could just rip out my heart or hand me razor blades and watch me bleed to death?

As my friends across the pond say... gutted.

Redragtoabull has been retired.

Retired...

Deferential, Firm Offer, and...

Joyful Winner.

What can I say? It was time.

A lovely horse (and if someone could please let Snowdrops know as he was her favorite HK guy) who hadn't won for quite some time, he was a member (although not lately) of the illustrious Top 50.

Once upon a time he beat Silent Witness home...

He's ten and has run his heart out... hope he gets to go somewhere nice.

[my miss storm cat]

Wow some nice kids from NZ have arrived!!!

Handsome Zulu (3rd in the Derby, ed?), Corporal Jones and Everlasting!

So far the only one i know of with name news is Corporal Jones who will be keeping his (name).

[my miss storm cat]

To hell with them... Able One will be staying home.

Passed vet exam... Windicator Returns!

I haven't done this in a long time and it's not as much fun without Bullish Luck et al but since no one reads this anyway I shall amuse myself, thank you very much.

For the one and only time this summer....

Oh my God I am so sad... Egyptian Ra was retired.

I need to write a goodbye on the other thread...

[my miss storm cat]

2nd barrier trial(s) of the season tomorrow...

Green Birdie is in batch 1.

[my miss storm cat]

HKJC...

The Stewards have approved an amendment to the Stewards Instruction 1(1)(i) to remove the disparity of compulsorily retirement age so that horses from both hemispheres will be allowed to stay in training before they reach the age of 11.

As a result, Owners of the following four Northern Hemisphere horses which were compulsorily retired at the end of last racing season have been offered the option to keep their horses in training until 31 December 2010, i.e. the day before they turn 11.

CONNOISSEUR'S LOVE
PACIFIC ALLIANCE
SUPER IDEAL
WHATABOB
The Club has subsequently been advised that all these horses, except SUPER IDEAL, will continue to stay in training. As such, the retirement notice for CONNOISSEUR'S LOVE, PACIFIC ALLIANCE and WHATABOB published on 8 July 2010 is now cancelled.
