Hong Kong.. 10.15am-Accelerando Each Way @ 20-1 [William Hill] 4 places Rare for a Moreira horse to go off at these sort of odds
Hmm, On the Daily Thread, Grade One, Hongkers K (what we used to call the place in the good old days) racing doesn't seem to be very kind to you, so, why don't you, for example, give South African racing a try? No offence intended, just a suggestion!
The consistent Champagne Court might get a deserved win in the Class-3 Handicap Chase at Ascot (15:20). Lorcan Williams rides for the Jeremy Scott yard. 7/2 best price in most places.
Ah, didn't think of Japan, Grade One, good idea and well done on your successes there. Any clips I've seen of the big Japanese races the going always seems to be pretty fast? One of my all-time favourite horses, Le Glorieux, won the Japan Cup in 1987. Actually saw him win a Group-3 race in Munich in May that same year, just before his record-breaking exploits. He was a monster, a magnificent racehorse. Connections put a relatively unknown French jockey on board in the Munich race, probably to put punters off? Made no difference, he slaughtered the good field (my Granny could have won on him!). He was trained by Robert Collet in Chantilly, France. Here's the beginning of some blurb from Wikipedia on the horse: "Le Glorieux (18 February 1984 – 19 Aug 2010) was a British-bred Thoroughbred racehorse. In 1987 he achieved the extraordinary feat of winning three Group one races on three different continents when he won the Grosser Preis von Berlin in Europe, the Washington, D.C. International in North America and the Japan Cup in Asia." I must confess to my surprise that he was British-bred, as he has French-bred written all over him in the Sire/Dam Sire progeny table?
