Why Syllabus is the kindest horse in HK, reason #2...

Excerpt, SCMP.

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.

Viva Pataca is highweight again, this might be the time to have a nice little "prep" race for him so that he can be ready for the big one. Then the screws will be tightened I suspect.

I know what a monster he is but I'd love to see Macau beat him just once!

Good luck to my Bullish boys and to Jackpot.

(... and Packing Winner).

Maybe they could all just cross the line together!

From yesterday (in HK)...

The Cathay Pacific International Cup Trial Sha Tin Race Meeting - 16 November 2008

15 November 2008

The Veterinary Officer has this morning reported the following matters to the Stewards after completing the routine pre-race veterinary inspection of all horses declared to run at the Sha Tin race meeting to be held tomorrow, 16 November 2008.

VIVA PATACA, a declared runner in the Cathay Pacific International Cup Trial, was noted to have injured its right elbow. After a thorough inspection, including blood profiling, the Veterinary Officer said in his opinion VIVA PATACA was at this time suitable to race.

BULLISH CASH, also a declared runner in the Cathay Pacific International Cup Trial, was noted to have soreness in the left front foot. The Veterinary Officer said BULLISH CASH was also suitable to race, and it will be attended to by the Head Farrier.

Both VIVA PATACA and BULLISH CASH will be subjected to a further veterinary examination tomorrow morning.
