Retired... Forever Fortune and G1 Champion.

Welcome to HK! Wit and Wisdom (IRE), Armour (IRE), Cadley Road (GB).

Good luck to Windicator Returns in R1, Couldn't Care Less in R4 and Billion in R9 (I think Osvaldo wins that one).

Who knows how good this one is Dept. - Cheerful Double in R2, Gryder up.

Think this one will win... Fun Rider (Mosse up ) in R5.

My lock for the day... Berio in R7 (Whyte up).

In the big race... Armada, Jackpot Delight / Viva Pataca, Best Friend, Noble Conqueror (that's as much as I can narrow it down but i do think Armada or maybe the ultra-pretty Jackpot Delight wins).

Come home safe, kids.

Gallant Lion scratched from the Centenary Vase. That's a shame.

California Moon 2nd in his barrier trial...

Wow i couldn't have been any more wrong...

Biggest news evah!

Of course this is late but whatever...

Her name is Sweet Sanette and she won.

Uh, it's been over three years since a girl won.

(Oh and I got the official number... there are 4 fillies / mares over there).

http://www.hkjc.com/english/racing/r...eno=8&venue=HV

Trainer Gary Ng Ting-keung declared his four-year-old mare Sweet Sanette (Greg Cheyne) a Group winner in waiting after she allayed any fears about handling turns with a course record-breaking victory in the final event over 1,000 metres.

The mare bounced straight to the front and never looked like being headed despite getting herself very stirred up before the race.

"I wasn't worried about her sweating up, that's just her," said Ng after the two-and-a-quarter-length romp. "In terms of talent, she's as good as they come and I believe she will be a Group horse here in Hong Kong. The only downside to her is that she can be temperamental."



Well of course she can.
