BrianZipse · It is surprising that Cirrus des Aigles has not enjoyed more success as of yet at Sha Tin ... Sunday may be the day. · 170 days ago ·

furlong · Cirrus sure looks tough this year, but the lack of pace is what beat him last year, and this year does not look to be much faster. Hopefully chasing Frankel didn't take too much out of the gelding. I would love to see him win it! · 170 days ago ·

ILuvTurfRacing · Not sure what the circumstance are that it brought it about, but I just saw on the Hong Kong Jockey Club web-site that both Cirrus Des Aigles and Sweet Orange have both been withdrawn from the 2012 Hong Kong Cup. · 169 days ago ·

yukichan · This has shaped up to be such a competitive series with a true international representation, save the US with only Master of Hounds I believe? For the Vase, reports are very complimentary on Joshua Tree's looks and training. I might go out on a limb however with Meandre/Joshua Tree. In the Sprint, Time After Time draws well and as you said, is coming into form and peaking now. For the Mile, I'll be cheering for your Ambitious Dragon, with Siyouma give him a run for the top prize. And for the Cup, I think Charlton House is due for a big one, and seems to be taking to the track. Charlton House, by the way, will relocate to Australia and Gai Waterhouse, and represent the Queen's stable down under after the HKC. Will you be reporting from Sha Tin Matt? So envious if you are!! · 169 days ago ·

AmbitiousD · Yukichan, unfortunately I was not able to make this trip this year, but I have friends that are there and I will be on the phone with them during the races...Next best thing I suppose. ILTR, Cirrus was out with a mild tendon issue, but the trainer is optimistic about a return next year. Sweet Orange came up a little lame in his front right leg yesterday, so they decided to scratch. · 169 days ago ·

Mike in SB · Going to the races in Hong Kong is a great experience, I went to Happy Valley many years ago. It was a weekday and pouring rain but there was still 30 thousand people in the stands. Happy Valley has unbelievable views of the Hong Kong skyline and the racing is excellent. Thanks for sharing your experience. · 530 days ago ·
