It’s a case of back to the daily routine after this past weekend’s memorable trip to Dubai.  We certainly had some moments to savour with a Hong Kong winning double, and I’m delighted to learn that the connections of Amber Sky and Sterling City are still aiming big, with further major sprint events in Singapore and the UK being considered before…

I believe many of you will have stayed with us until the early hours of this morning for our Dubai World Cup simulcast, and I’m sure you were as thrilled watching at home as I was in Meydan to see our Hong Kong runners doing so well in one of the most important race meetings…

The Hong Kong Stadium will host this week’s local sporting highlight with the annual Hong Kong Sevens rugby taking place this weekend.  Many of my friends have been posting their photos and statuses on their online social platforms as they enjoy the exciting matches and the carnival atmosphere.For those racing fans amongst us, that excitement will transfer to tonight’s action in Dubai when eight of our best Hong Kong horses will participate in five…

We have a big week ahead on the international stage with our eight Hong Kong challengers settling in at Meydan racecourse in preparation for the Dubai World Cup meeting on Saturday. This is the highest number of horses we have ever sent overseas for one event and this fact emphasises the current quality of Hong…

At Happy Valley on Wednesday we saw some long-shot runners finish in the frame and pull off a few unexpected results.  But it was a different scenario in the big European football competitions in the midweek, as the most strongly fancied teams saw off their opposition and progressed to the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions…

Last Sunday we had double G1 action on Derby day at Sha Tin and I believe most of the 60,000 racegoers who were inside the racecourse thoroughly enjoyed the terrific action.  If you were there in the Sha Tin grandstand, you were most likely one of those roaring enthusiastically as the Derby contenders turned into…

Many of you will of course remember that Akeed Mofeed justified favouritism to win the BMW Hong Kong Derby last year, and earn the crown as the top four-year-old of the season.  Twelve months on, the Derby victor has developed into a top-class international performer, most notable for his defeat of Cirrus des Aigles and…

I’m sure you were all as delighted as I was when watching Rich Tapestry winning the G3 Mahab Al Shimaal at the Dubai Super Saturday meeting last weekend.  It was a stylish win for the Michael Chang-trained runner.  Having stalked just off the pace early in the race, the horse unleashed a strong kick that…

We had an exciting finale to the 1O1O Million Challenge on Wednesday at Happy Valley, and I really enjoyed following the developments as the lead changed hands twice during the evening. Bullish Boy led the series entering the final meeting and looked set to secure the win bonus as he broke clear in the final…

As I’m sure many of you, like what I did last Sunday, watched the live action of the English League Cup final.  It was a great match and in victory and in defeat, I think both Sunderland and Manchester City played well with Sunderland more than matching their big-name opponents for large parts of the…
