HK runners...

Multiglory, rated 110... he raced 22 times and only won with Matt Chadwick on his back.

His finest moment... beating Xtension, Sunny King, Fair Trade et al...

http://www.hkjc.com/english/racing/r...2010&raceno=03

* * *

Dynamic Blitz, so named for the ill-fated champion Natural Blitz.

Rated 109 he had 7 wins from 20 starts and had represented HK well at Meydan (won the Al Shindagha Sprint last year). He also travelled to Singapore and was 3rd in the KrisFlyer last year.

Too many fine moments to pick just one so here are all...

http://www.hkjc.com/english/racing/O...=J339&search=1

* * *

Medic Fortune, who began his HK career at Class 2 and plunged down to Class 5, never recovering. In his 38 HK starts (not including NZ) he only had one win... another who only won with the miracle man (kid!) abord (Chadwick)...

http://www.hkjc.com/english/racing/r...2011&raceno=02

He had raced under the name Pierre Joseph in NZ (Stephen McKee trained him) where his record was 2-2-2 from 14.

Always a nice one to follow cause you had to keep on hoping for the guy.

Happy retirement to all.

Able One... superstar of HK racing, winner of the HK MIle (probably would have won it twice if he weren't scratched at the start), dual winner of the Champions MIle... a lovely old warrior who, with Sacred Kingdom, will be graced with the lifetime achievement award next month.

His record / replays...

http://www.hkjc.com/english/racing/O...=G108&search=1

Hope he gets to go back home now. Happy retirement to one of my favorites of all time.

Sunny King, member of the HK old guard.

He represented HK at Taipa and at Meydan, was G1 placed... didn't win an awful lot but was good at hitting the board in the big races (4-11-10 from 64). A very nice horse who one would always include if they had any sense at all. Never a big star but a name nonetheless.

Hope he has a nice retirement.

So You Think





So You Think Retired, to Stand in Australia
By Claire Novak, @BH_CNovak
Updated: Thursday, July 5, 2012 6:23 PM
Posted: Thursday, July 5, 2012 1:02 PM




So You Think, a winner of 10 group I races and $8.6 million in purses, has been officially retired after pulling a muscle in his hindquarters, it was announced July 5.

The son of High Chaparral was to have run his farewell race in the July 7 Eclipse Stakes (Eng-I) at Sandown Park, after which he was scheduled to retire. Instead he will enter quarantine July 7 and will stand at Coolmore Australia for a fee of Aust$66,000.

"So You Think is an extraordinary horse and it was a real privilege to have had him here at Ballydoyle on loan from Australia," said trainer Aidan O'Brien, who took over the 6-year-old runner from Bart Cummings to win the last five of his group I victories.

A champion 3-year-old and miler in Australia–and Ireland's highweighted older horse last year–So You Think took the 2009 and 2010 editions of the Tatts Cox Plate (Aust-I), Australia's premiere weight for age event. In 2010 he also won the New Zealand Bloodstock Memsie Stakes (Aust-II), the Rokk Ebony Underwood Stakes (Aust-I), the Caulfield Yalumba Stakes (Aust-I), and the Logines MacKinnon Stakes (Aust-I). Purchased by Coolmore and sent to Ballydoyle, he began a Northern Hemisphere campaign that resulted in victories in the 2011 editions of the High Chaparral E.B.F. Moorsebridge Stakes (Ire-III), the Tattersalls Gold Cup (Ire-II), the Coral Eclipse Stakes (Eng-I), and the Red Mills Irish Champion Stakes (Ire-I). In 2012 he won the Tattersalls Gold Cup (Ire-I) and the Prince of Wales's Stakes (Eng-I), that most recent victory coming June 20 at Royal Ascot.

"It's a big disappointment that he'll miss the Eclipse, but he's had a wonderful racing career and now it's time for him to shine at stud," said Tom Magnier of Coolmore Australia. "His book reads like a who's who of all the best mares and breeders so he'll get the best possible start."

Bred in New Zealand by M J Moran & Piper Farm out of the Tights mare Triassic, So You Think was a $85,481 yearling purchase in 2008 who first raced for Dato Tan Chin Nam and Tunku Ahmad Yahaya.

A great racehorse. It's a shame he didn't get a proper farewell in the Eclipse, but he really has done enough anyway.

It'll be interesting to see how some of these successful Aus/NZ sons of High Chaparral go at stud.

Mister Horse, a HK runner who I've always liked because of his silly name even though he was astonishingly slow.

26 starts, zero wins... I will never understand why his owner kept him with Man (yes yes the horse named horse and the trainer named man... match made in heaven) but what do I know.

Hope he gets to go somewhere nice where he can run free.

Oh wait... I mean walk.

Happy retirement.
