I don't put all the HK horsies on this thread, only the more famous ones (cause there are so many retirements).

Anyway need to add this old guy, Watch What Happens.

He came to HK from France where he had been trained by Fabre and had a record of 2 wins and 2 places (one 4th) from 5 starts.

Nice horse.

He got to keep his name (most of them are changed) and was sent to Woods who is a fantastic trainer.

He went to the old Nad Al twice but didn't do well in Dubai...

I believe he had 45 HK starts total.

Anyway, hope he gets to go somewhere nice.

Happy retirement.

Big Maverick (SIngapore... he's going home to NZ).

Guan Dao (the strikingly beautiful, former Starofken who just never seemed to do well in HK) and the beloved old guy Packing Winner who is a member of the illustrious Hong Kong Top 50 (rated at 117 which means he retires in the 23rd spot).

Happy retirement to Jackpot Delight... one of my favorite HK guys even if he didn't win much.

He was from NZ and raced for Peter Moody as Hamlet's Ghost.

He won his first 5 in a row (and I mean some of these fields were really big... 13, 16 horses) and then was 4th in his 6th start.

Sent to HK he was given a pretty high rating and ran in mostly G1 and class 2 races.

He hasn't done too well since the end of the 2009 season so here's hoping his connections (who own all the "Delight" horses) send him back home or somewhere nice.

He retires with a rating of 105.
