    • Numbers (NZ) (Tivaci) firmly advanced his credentials for the remainder of the Hong Kong Four-Year-Old Classic Series with a commanding victory in Sunday’s Gr.3 Centenary Vase Handicap (1800m) at Sha Tin.   The Frankie Lor-trained galloper dominated his six rivals, each with a Group-level winning profile, as he led from start-to-finish on his way to a two-length victory in the HK$4.2 million contest.   The Tivaci gelding went off a strong $1.7 favourite on the strength of an eye-catching front-running victory in December, his first in Hong Kong. The handicapper gave him eight points for that, but Numbers (117lb) still went off from the foot of the weights against a more experienced field.   From barrier two, he was worked to the head of the field by Derek Leung and enjoyed a rail-hugging passage half a length in front of Andrea Atzeni on Ensued (125lb) to the bend. As they entered the straight, a group headed by Chancheng Glory under Zac Purton moved to his shoulder to briefly offer resistance, before Leung shook up the four-year-old and opened a gap on his pursuers. Speed Dragon (126lb), ridden by Lyle Hewitson, improved to take second, with Karis Teetan and Encountered (126lb) finishing third.   “He was still a bit nervous in the gates, but he did a good job,” Leung said. “He handled himself pretty good. After he relaxed, I started to pick up at the 800m. He listened to me, and he made my job pretty easy.”   Leung said his tactical versatility makes Numbers a major threat for the BMW Hong Kong Derby (2000m) on 22 March.   “He can lead, or if someone’s going faster than him, he can be second or third – just whatever he wants to be,” Leung said. “He loves to chase a horse. So, it doesn’t matter … he loves the challenge.”   The second leg of the Four-Year-Old Classic Series is the Hong Kong Classic Cup on 1 March, and on this evidence, Numbers will take some beating as the Series extends to 1800 metres and beyond. His last act in Australia pre-import was a spirited second in the Gr.1 Queensland Derby over 2400m. Trainer Lor said he was confident.   “I have a lot of hope. You can see in Australia he already has form over 2400m, so I don’t think there will be any problems and we’ll just go for it,” he said.   Mark Newnham’s Lucky Ranger (NZ) (Vanbrugh) maintained his upward trajectory with a fine win in the first section of the Class 4 On Ting Handicap (1400m). In both of his first two starts, the three-year-old was forced to overcome the widest draw, but did so comfortably, delivering a 22nd win of the season for Luke Ferraris, and maintaining a one-win lead (35) for Newnham in the trainers’ standings.   Atzeni’s treble was completed when he piloted John Size’s four-year-old Flow Water Flow (NZ) (Proisir) to victory in his first Class 3 run in the Yau Oi Handicap (1800m). The Proisir gelding has now recorded two wins after three seconds in his debut campaign.     Cody Mo secured a win courtesy of the Riversley Park Ready To Run graduate Emblazon (Zoustar). The Hong Kong Derby-nominated son of Zoustar made it three wins in a row and four for the season – all under two pound-claiming Jerry Chau – when he took out the Class 3 Yan Tin Handicap (1400m).

    • So, there are a number of posters, many anonymous on social media who are renowned for their personal attacks on people.  How would they be encompassed by the application of the rules

    • It use to be, that by being of course! you have agreed to the rules!  back in a  day it all that stuff used  to be written somewhere in most racebooks! But as usual!  one needs to steep back and ask why to they focus on this sort of thing! what is the Kaupapa behind it!  In whose interest? At a guess, its to show that they are doing something! The odds of them pacifying a few that they are concerned about is $1.01.  for a couple it would be BADGE OF HONNOUR!  if they are challenged!!!   Odds on it would turn into a shit storm! and the old "Streisand Effect" would kick in! If would fall off the 'racing media' into the main media....  The Streisand effect is a phenomenon where attempts to suppress, censor, or hide information backfire, resulting in the unintentional, widespread publicization of that information, typically via the internet.
