Here are some pp's in English

They are from HKJC, so the last race is on the bottom.

Wanna have some fun?
Try monitoring the live betting activities on this race from the Hong Kong tote board:

http://bet.hkjc.com/default.aspx?url=/racing/pages/odds_wp.aspx&lang=en&dv=overseas

The fun happens by glancing once and a while at the size of the betting pools (totals usually shown at the bottom of the page) and comparing that to ADW betting pools here in the States.
(Remember to divide the HK$ by 5 to get the US$ equivalent)

First Winx runs a heart stopper and now Enable. All class.

Not the strongest Arc field but what can you say about a filly that wins the Arc, comes back from injury and runs one race on poly, then comes back and wins the Arc again!. And a 3YO filly just misses to her!

All class, all the time. Just a huge fan of Euro racing and this is but one reason why.

Oh and FWIW, RTN now is on my shitlist. I get that some of the CD properties are only available on their DISH TV Package and are they are denoted as such. But the Arc shows as being available on the streaming pkg. Even asked them yesterday if they'd have the entire card or just the Arc and they stated the entire card. Now today they tell me 'oh, its only available on the TV Package'. What a bunch of crock.

I was surprised Twinspires did not have it either to wager on, only thing I saw was a pick 4 bet with the Arc and some Belmont races....

I was watching live on TVG2, don't get TVG, and they switched off right before the race was going off, some Barstool show went on, guess they only wanted to broadcast it on TVG...

Thanks for posting it was on FS2, which I get, and was able to watch the race live. A great race! Enable giving 7 pounds to the runner up, another filly (3 YO) Sea of Class, and Enable gamely holds on.

Wonder if there is any chance they bring her here for the BC turf? She looked great after the race so I guess it might be a maybe, given this is only her second race of the year.

Goosden said after the race that she will come back next year to go for three Arc's in a row, which looks to have never happened before, Alleged was the last back to back winner in 1977-78, opps, forgot about Treve winning back to back just a few years ago.

That course looked rough, a lot of sod/dirt kicked up throughout the race.

Sea of Class may come over but I'd doubt Enable will. We'll see eh?

And the FS2 feed was variation of the daily Belmont Live show and it was also streaming on NYRA.com

Sea of Class's connections already said they are not while Enable's connections said she is coming.

Now if only we can get Winx, wouldn’t that be something...any word on Winx coming over...?

Winx's connections seem pretty firm about her staying in Australia. She's 7 years old now so I think that ship has sailed.

Actually Godsen said today they'll know in about 10 days. Which would be cutting it close.

VERY, VERY unlikely.
In an interview with a jockey who has ridden against both Winx and Enable in Australia and Europe he was asked which would win if they ran against each other. He said that it would be Enable because he feels that Euro racing is on a higher level than Aussie racing.

More to the point he doesn't think Winx's connections would make the trip anyway since they feel that Aussie racing is already top drawer and there is no need to ship to Europe to prove it. A ship to the US would be even less likely.

Personally, I think that while that's part of it, since Aussie champions rarely if ever have made the long ship since Phar Lap (I think there was only one attempt in Europe). The tragedy of Phar Lap's ill-fated trip to the U.S. is forever burned into the memory and minds of all Aussies who fear a repeat of what happened to him.

Interestingly, Japan, which is almost as far as Australia, has sent several horses to race to Europe, the Middle East, and the U.S. They do feel that they have something to prove regarding the quality of Japanese racing and have had several successful attempts with no Phar Lap-like tragedies.

Thanks for the info. I assume they run Enable in the BC turf?

Not sure if an Arc winner has won the BC turf in the same year? Trempolino came real close in 87. Looks like Found won the Arc the next year after winning the BC turf.

If Winx somehow showed up, that might be a race for the ages, though she looks like more of a mile and a quarter specialist so she could go in the Filly and Mare race I guess if she did make it here.
