1 & 4 should've won last out if not for poor rides. Threw in the 8 as a saver.

Thanks, we all get lucky every once in a while.

7-1 on the #10 Billionaire Secret whos only two wins have been at 10 furlongs and was given a favourable draw here.

This is a terrible field. I like the 10 a little bit as well. Use him with the 3. 3 is not much but should get a perfect trip.

[woodbinepmi]

Have no clue in the 6th, don't do much in these 1.000 metre races at Sha Tin and especially with so many first time runners in Hong Kong.

[denniswilliams]

100M is the toughest race for me. I've been chasing California Touch. I think Cheval Valiant might be too quick for them early. Baby Crystal should get a good trip - but is Jenny Chapman's best bet of the day

[woodbinepmi]

Now time for the big race

[woodbinepmi]

I don't see a big separation between the chalk #1 Helios Express (4-5) and the #3 Helene Feeling (9-1), will take the longer odds on the 3 with the 1 and the 2 under and on top of him in Q and tri's.

Helios Express with Beauty Crescent & Helene Feeling.

The race I have been waiting to plunge on today, keying the #5 Sword Point (10-1) with the 11,6,1,4,2.

I'm stumbling and bumbling all night BUT the 1-11 quinella was paying $84.00. BOTH horse got blocked badly. Those are the breaks. .

Having a clue means that no matter how bad you're going, you always have a chance to made some nice money on any given day. That opportunity for me was Race 8. 1-11 quinella was paying $84 (the quinella place paid $27.30). Both horses were badly blocked and got clear when too late. BUT: that's the essence of HKG racing -- large, very competitive fields, photo beats, wide trips, blocked runs, etc.

Purton gets 1 day suspension for taking the path of Speed Dragon in the 7th.



BOWMAN gets fined and a 3 day suspension for carelessly riding Less is More in the 2nd.

[woodbinepmi]

Bowman also got a $15,000US fee. They don't mess around there.
