Lock of the day at Happy Valley on Wednesday... Billion in the 8th.

Ummm, Viva Hong Kong (the former Kid mambo) entered on Wednesday as well. Maybe Viva Pataca and Viva Macau (applause!!! ) gave him some pointers. Here's hoping anyway, poor guy. (Elfhelm should win that one but hope he does well).

Thanks.

Okay, you can have a little more time as long as you promise to stay up for HK with me eventually!

<yawn> Alright!

This isn't good.

Excerpt, incidents report...

VIVA HONG KONG was sent for an official veterinary inspection. After the race, VIVA HONG KONG, which finished tailed out, was examined by the Veterinary Officer. He said the horse was displaying an irregular heart rhythm. As this is the second occasion on which VIVA HONG KONG has been reported to have displayed an irregular heart rhythm, the horse will now be barred from racing for a period of 6 months and will be required to perform to the satisfaction of the Stewards in an official barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination before being permitted to race again. MELLIFLUOUS, LOTZATOW and FAT DRAGON were sent for sampling.
