Interesting, and shows you the value of a racing jurisdiction that values transparency.
Hard to know what to make of the work , are they wanting him to be closer early, or was this just a conditioner?

Blizzard is a Class 1 or solid Class 2 runner so keeping pace for 5 furlongs with a new running style is pretty good.
My guess the point of the work was to put some speed into him so he can break with the field instead of giving everyone a 3 to 6 length head start.

All I can say is watch out for this one at 1600M (8F) or more!
It looks like there getting chinks out of the armor, by getting Pakistan Star to break much better. That in itself will reduce the amount of energy necessary to keep pace early on. In my estimation it means it’ll have even more in the tank for that powerful closing punch. I’m looking forward to its upcoming races.

It’s confirmed: The undefeated Pakistan Star will run in the last race (#11) at Sha Tin this morning. This race will go off at about 5:45 AM EST and will be run at 1400M (7F) on the Turf.
There's an awful lot of discussion in the Far East about this horse's potential.

Current Win Place odds in HK are 1.0-1.0
Haven't seen odds like this since SILENT WITNESS took Hong Kong by storm years ago.

And did you notice the odds on the other entries? If Pakistan Star should falter the tote board will explode!
I’ve posted my early selections for another round of racing at Sha Tin this morning (Sun 10/16) on the following thread:

even money not bad, maybe I bet $1000 
speaking of crazy, there are some HUGE bets placed on q's late that dont even come close to winning.
Just saw a q go 92 to 36 at the bell. nowhere .

He's not even money here in the states, you have to remember the books here take their cut out first. Example: in the first race tonight the winner paid $ 8.40 there, here he only paid $ 6.50.

It's sad that we don't get the odds they pay there in Hong Kong, one of the only drawbacks of playing there. Got to pay the vig here.

Horse stepped up to Class 2, broke decent enough, looked to me as if Chadwick was starting to wind up around the 950m mark but went backwards/took up for a few strides around the 800m. Just too much ground to make up. Not the greatest ride. But a fine showing by the horse nevertheless.
Went off at 1.40 in Hong Kong, guessing that's around 2/5 North American odds. That's alot of Hong Kong squid on the nose, and considering the Star's running style, there must have been alot of pace makers going off in the stretch.
