You're there?

Good Lord I am so jealous.

Thanks for the visual. Hope you're having a fantastic time!

I am rooting for Lucky Nine but as far as playing am stuck between him, Charles the Great and Cerise Cherry.

Have to use Slade Power and Eagle Regiment somewhere underneath and was going to toss Lord Kanaloa in the 3rd spot.

Would love to know who else catches your eye.

I was wondering if you had seen Military Attack this week and, if so, how he looked (?).

Thanks.

Thank you, tvg, for not letting us bet these races.

The bad news is that the races have become so competitive that it is conceivable local horses, for the first time ever, might not win even one of the four group I events Sunday.

Hahahaha yea, riiiiiight.

Analysis for the races - http://www.dubairacenight.com/longin...aces-analysis/

Have to say - Little Mike is in with a shot in this race. I've seen him a bunch over the last two years and am really impressed with the way he has been. The Romans camp is overwhelmingly excited because everything has gone so well thus far.

If Mike wins, I believe he'd be the first 3yo+ to win an overseas G1 on grass since Fourstars Allstar and Golden Pheasant did it in 1991.

There is no agreement to show live video in the US, and this is probably the last year for that as commingling due to begin in early 2014. Toss back with a fireside, or bedside chat...listen in to the audio from the broadcast team on course. I'll be appearing for the Hong Kong Cup.

Action gets going from 11:30 PM US Eastern time. http://www.hkjc.com/english/press/live.asp

Make sure you are aren't listening to an archive from Happy Valley, which is what plays when you click the stream from before the live day begins here.

So funny... I wished this for years. Followed hk for years.

On another forum when some people were bored after the bc I did hk horsie adoptions and literally followed over 100 horses for over 40 people for over a year.

If they swam or were gelded I followed it. Who their workout buddies were... all of it.

And now we can bet it?

Great.

Have fun and enjoy.

Love those horses... some of my favorites.

I just refuse to watch any races or follow it or care so please someone let me know when Lucky Nine is retired cause that is the ONLY thing I give a **** about (but I will always root for them when they travel... HK Raiders and all. The horses and NOT the people).

Continuing NOT following HK but heard Cerise Cherry was pulled up and hope he's okay and SO proud of / happy for connections of Lucky Nine (2nd). Please don't send him to Singapore! Just retire him.

Locals won both big races (Designs on Rome w/ Tommy Berry up and Charles the Great w/ Dougie Whyte).

Everything anyone needs is on the hkjc site.

Congrats to the extraordinary (and very goofy) Zac Purton for winning the jockeys title. In doing so he denied Doug Whyte a 14-year reign.

Well done. They are both incredible.

Zac, with bff...
