Catching up and oh my God, he won the 1st yesterday!!!!! http://www.hkjc.com/english/racing/Results.asp His 9th win in 111 starts... http://www.hkjc.com/english/racing/h...&Option=1#htop SCMP... Sunday, November 9, 2008 Woods plans Knight's retirement, but looks ahead with Decision MURRAY BELL (excerpt) Sean Woods was unbeaten after two races with horses at polar-opposite ends of the experience spectrum, leaving the British trainer with two very different sets of future plans. Woods was chuffed that First Knight, a loyal servant to the yard, had been able to land the opening race under an aggressive Brett Prebble ride and is now recommending a well-earned retirement for the nine-year-old. "He's done a fantastic job and we're very proud of him," Woods said. "Today was his 111th start, it's a Hong Kong record number of starts and I think this would be a very nice way to finish it off. That will be my recommendation to the owners [the Eighth Floor Syndicate] and I hope they agree to it. "We'll ensure he goes to a good home, in either Australia or New Zealand, and I hope the Jockey Club sees fit to give him a public farewell because he's been a wonderfully sound, competitive horse for a long period of time." First Knight's victory in the Class Five over 1,400 metres was his ninth win and he's banked HK$4.4 million. He's also landed eight seconds, five thirds and 11 fourths across a long career with just two trainers - David Hill originally, then transferring to Woods after Hill quit Hong Kong and moved to Singapore in the summer of 2005. First Knight debuted on May 25, 2002, in a griffin race over 1,000m. He was handled by Eddie Lai Wai-ming and ran last of 14 runners at 82-1. His four seasons with Hill provided three wins, but Woods has extracted the other six over the past three years and two months. Photo... http://racing.scmp.com/freeservice/n...s20081109b.asp

Whyte counting his lucky stars ALAN AITKEN But Whyte was thankful even to be at the meeting having gone within a heartbeat of wrecking his right knee on Friday. "My horse Syllabus had my knee pinned against the side of the gate and then went up in the air, and I went over into the next stall where there was no horse to get any leverage but my knee was still pinned and supporting my entire weight for a split second," Whyte said. "If the horse hadn't moved when he did, I would have torn the ligaments in my knee. As it was there was a crunching sound and some pain but he had just moved in time to free the leg. I tell you, somebody was looking after me." * * * I thought this was kinda fun... Excerpt, SCMP... Apache Cat's HK trip abandoned after Flemington failure MURRAY BELL There was an unusual Hong Kong connection with All Silent, who completed his rise up the ratings with a dominant win in the Group One Emirates Stakes (1,600m), the highlight race of the final day of the carnival. All Silent began his career in Hong Kong under the name Chiu Chan Elite. He was owned by Robin Chan Yau-hing and trained by John Size. To say the Belong To Me gelding failed to make an impression is a gross understatement. In three barrier trials for Size, he was last and distanced on the first two occasions and, when revved right up by Anthony Delpech for a third trial, he laboured into fifth spot in a turf trial over 1,000m, beaten 8.2 lengths. At that time, Chan had the option of bringing in Warrior, so Chiu Chan Elite was replaced by the brilliant young sprinter and it all looked like ending well when Warrior won his first three starts. Chiu Chan Elite was "retired" from Hong Kong unraced, returning to Australia and reverting to the name All Silent. Chan did not want to continue in the ownership of All Silent, and he was bought back by his yearling selector, Size's father-in-law Neville Begg, who now races the gelding with other family members. The five-year-old is trained by Begg's son Grahame.

The farewell... http://www.hkjc.com/english/news/news_2008121720755.htm * * * Felix Coetzee requests withdrawal of his licence 17 December 2008 Club Jockey Felix Coetzee has submitted a written request for his Club Jockey's Licence to be withdrawn by the Licensing Committee after the race meeting scheduled to be conducted at Sha Tin Racecourse on Saturday, 20 December 2008. In his correspondence, Jockey Coetzee explained that his family did not return to Hong Kong from South Africa at the commencement of the current 2008/2009 season as his children were obliged to remain in South Africa for the purpose of furthering their education. Jockey Coetzee advised that it had been his intention to remain in Hong Kong until the conclusion of the current racing season, however, he has found it increasingly difficult to focus on race riding without the support of his family being domiciled in Hong Kong. Jockey Coetzee's request for his licence to be withdrawn will be placed before the Licensing Committee as a matter of priority for their consideration. * * * Amo 7th, Lollipop 4th, final hasn't gone off yet...
