From the HKJC.....

Special Grass Gallops for Able One and Good Ba Ba

19 May 2007

At the request of Trainers John Moore and Andreas Schutz, and to assist with the training of Able One (G108) and Good Ba Ba (E201) before their departure for the Yasuda Kinen, these two horses will gallop on the Sha Tin Turf Track in an anti-clockwise direction along the inside running rail on Sunday 20 May 2007 at the conclusion of the local track work.

Footage of their gallops will be replayed on the Diamond Vision screens and closed-circuit televisions at both Sha Tin and Happy Valley racecourses around 12:30 on that day.

On the Japanese runners, from the JRA.....




























Oh right! NO information released yet..... I keep forgetting.

YEA!

Arrival of Hong Kong Raiders

(No really..... that's the headline! Look!)!

http://japanracing.jp/_news2007/070523.html

The four raiders from Hong Kong, including the top three finishers of the Champions Mile, the 3rd leg of the Asian Mile Challenge, arrived in Japan on Wednesday, 23rd May.

Despite the delay with the cargo flight, all four geldings arrived to the quarantine center in Shiroi safe and sound, after a twelve hours journey from Sha Tin.

The Hong Kong team will move to the Tokyo Racecourse next Tuesday to set out to duplicate last year’s win by Bullish Luck.

Nice how the JRA news release doesn't even mention the names of the horses. Just calls them "the four geldings".

Yeah, I know.....

I'll try to play nicey-nice here and say okay at least the JRA allowed them to come. To be fair, they did have some nice pics and an article on their site.

The Four Geldings (shall we have shirts made?) though? Geez..... how about The Fantastic Four? Oh wait... that's taken.

Let's forgive them as they're afraid, very afraid, of our boys.

Wear red, cheer loudly, and watch out world..... let the invasion begin.

Hong Kong Raiders!

edit: Good Lord how did i miss this yesterday?????

Check it out!

ha! the discriminations even creeps into the pictures.
Could the pictures of the Japanese horses be any more colorful? anymore exciting?

The pictures of the raiders are all drap and colorless.
Well there are a couple of green bushes in Good Baa Baa's picture, that adds a little color.

You don't really want to get me started, do you?

Anyway, the "four geldings" look quite lovely.

Someday..... someday HK will get international respect.

For now we shall wear red and sing songs and hey we can draw comic books of the 4 Amigos in their capes, fighting crime, winning races and, and.....

Go, Raiders!
