Ballad of the Fantasy boys...

8 January 2009

The Stewards received stable transfer applications on 5 January 2009 for SUPER FANTASY and WHATAFANTASY to be transferred from Trainer D E Ferraris to Trainer Y S Tsui. The horses are both owned by Mr Lam Tai Fai & Mrs Martha Lam So Lai Ching.

Upon being informed of the intended transfers, Mr. Ferraris expressed to the Stewards his disappointment that these horses were being transferred from his stable. Mr Ferraris has advised Mr Lam he does not wish to continue to train ULTRA FANTASY and DOUBLE FANTASY, horses in which Mr. Lam also has an ownership interest. Mr Ferraris also advised the Stewards of his disappointment at these stable transfers and that he no longer wished to continue to train ULTRA FANTASY and DOUBLE FANTASY.

Under normal circumstances permission would not be granted by the Stewards for DOUBLE FANTASY, which was successful in its most recent race start on 4 January 2009, to be transferred to another stable. It is the policy of the Stewards that last start winners would not be normally permitted to change stables during the racing season. However, considering Mr Ferraris does not wish to continue training DOUBLE FANTASY, the Stewards have, in the circumstances, given approval for the horse, together with ULTRA FANTASY to be transferred to the stable of Trainer P F Yiu.
