Rocket Win now listed as "retired". Hope he's alright.

I errored when I said he picked up a bug in Peru, actually it was Turkey.

A very good race by Viva Pataca, I thought he raced without cover for the most part but it didn't really matter, in the end he showed his class.

Green Birdie in the Chairman's sprint was very unlucky, he was making a move up the rail and was stopped cold, otherwise he looked like he was getting up in time.

Wow, shocked when I saw results...

That's the beauty of HK racing, good prices, great riders, zero tolerance for hanky panky shenanigans...Also I mean which track boasts 4 better riders at the moment than Soumillion, Whyte, Beadman and Prebble? I'm convinced this is the best racing at the moment for fans. I'm sure you agree Miss Stormcat. Especially on Intl days...

In addition this is a trip handicapper's paradise, Shatin in particular.
