Happy Valley and Hong Kong Wrap Up:
I sincerely hope you enjoyed the race meet at Sha Tin on Sunday as the two Group 1 races certainly lived up to expectations. Fantastic effort from Peniaphobia to win the 1000m sprint down the straight from the outside gate and what can you say about Able Friend in the Cup Race. He was absolutely devastating and his Jockey Joao Moreira never moved on him. He was ridden cold as ice and even 100m out Joao just patted him on the neck and enjoyed the ride. Certainly looks a very special race horse and one of the best milers going around anywhere at the moment. His time was better than standard in a race which was very void of pace and very slow run but he still made it look easy after closing from a long way back. Will be on him where ever he goes after that run as he really does look like an excitement machine.
I hope you followed the selections as we hit the last four on top selections which made for an easy collect any way you backed them.
Back at Happy Valley tonight for a bit of fun but looking forward to Sha Tin next Sunday when we are back for some great racing.
Happy Valley 28-01-15
Track and Conditions: Turf C + 3 Course. Track will be rated GOOD.
Expected Weather: Mainly cloudy with one or two rain patches and a top temperature of 18 degrees by day and 15 degrees by night. Wind will be from the east gusting up to and around the 30 Km/h mark but should have little effect on this city track and as usual on paced runners will be aided by the strong on paced bias of the Happy Valley circuit.
