Retired... Watchman, Reunion, Goody, Kowloon Fit, Laser Tiger . Holigan, Gallant Win.

Transfered.... the lovely Lady First (awww) from Leung to Woods.

Love so many but going with Redragtoabull.

(Wouldn't be shocked if Thumbs Up wins though. BeHAVE, Sleep Well. No kicking anyone!)

Come home safe, all of you.

R3... Whiplash

R8... Survey Survey ( - the former Deepwater Bay for anyone who cares. Oh and good luck to Joyful Winner - nice horse who is NOT having a good season). SS / Express Win (the former Diego Garcia).

R9... Redragtoabull / Thumbs Up / Unique Jewellery

R10... hoping Three Clubs draws in

R11... Thank you, Matthew Chadwick, for somehow reminding Regency Horse that he's good!!! Regency Horse, all the way!

For those of you who forgot, Sleep Well (in the Derby trial) is the former Achill Island. There will be a test...

SCMP trackwork notes...

RACE NINE, RATED Terms (G2), 1,800 METRES
Thumbs Up impressed in his final piece on Thursday and hit the line with relish over the final 200m under Christophe Soumillon. Unique Jewellery has had several steady Size-style gallops and also had a quiet trial last Thursday under Douglas Whyte. More Bountiful is the ultimate professional and has done nothing to suggest he cannot continue his strong vein of form. Roma Pegasus has been the improver, going ahead in leaps and bounds since his unlucky run in the Classic Mile. Redragtoabull has gone well in recent weeks and his final piece under Weichong Marwing was excellent.

Racing Incident Report
On jumping, KINGS FALCON was taken back. ROMA PEGASUS began awkwardly, bumped the inside gate of its stall, then due to the slow tempo in the early stages proved difficult to settle and near the 1400 Metres was checked away from the heels of MORE BOUNTIFUL which was also proving difficult to settle. When ROMA PEGASUS was checked, it shifted in and caused crowding on its inside to LEGEND OF COLOUR. Shortly after this, MORE BOUNTIFUL, which was continuing to over-race, shifted out and bumped SLEEP WELL which in turn caused ABOVE ALL to be steadied and carried wider. In the Straight, THUMBS UP hung in, near the 300 Metres shifted ground and raced tight outside LEGEND OF COLOUR, then near the 200 Metres got its head on the side and shifted in behind LEGEND OF COLOUR as that horse shifted out. BEAUTY FOREVER was sent for an official veterinary inspection. A veterinary inspection of BEAUTY FOREVER after the race did not show any significant findings. THUMBS UP, UNIQUE JEWELLERY and KINGS FALCON were sent for sampling.

Yes, I was watching Sunday morning's broadcast and the HK announcers interviewed John Moore, he said he was very high on him and the horse was setback by picking up a virus/bug in Peru. He's had a few setbacks infact, that was nice effortless move in a tough race off the shelf.

In hockey terms, it's like getting a penalty for slapping the shin pads of a teammate that scored a goal.

To HK's credit they do alot of things well, there must be a reason though just what that is, is anyone's guess.
