I agree, I have been in this guy's corner since his first race at Shatin. I didn't bet him via my account last weekend, I didn't think he would be good value even though I thought he had a good chance. I'm more partial to think he didn't like the ground. He never displayed the impressive turn of foot from his previous races, given the opportunity I wouldn't hesitate to play him next out if there is an opportunity down the line. I'm not sure but HK is winding down soon I believe, stormcat when does the season end?

Good luck to Wong Wing and Bullish Win!

He gets a win once a year and although it doesn't look likely, hoping this is it.

Too bad Chadwick doesn't have the mount...

Have said it about 85,000 times on the Singapore thread but cheers to the brilliant Hong Kong Raider, Sacred Kingdom, for his win in Singapore.

Thank you, Brett Prebble, for your class and compassion... dedicating the win to Absolute Champion was so touching and lovely.

The legend returns home.....
