    • Fresh from a stunning four-timer at Happy Valley, Caspar Fownes is confident Dancing Code can help continue his early momentum when the consistent sprinter tackles Sunday’s Class Two Yi Tung Shan Handicap (1,200m) at Sha Tin. Fownes is dreaming of adding to his four championship wins after soaring to the top of the leaderboard on six wins thanks to his quartet of winners on Wednesday night. Armed with six runners this weekend, the 58-year-old has high expectations for Dancing Code’s return from...View the full article
    • What Sha Tin Races Where Sha Tin Racecourse – Tai Po Rd, Sha Tin District, Hong Kong When Sunday, September 21, 2025 First Race 1pm HKT (3pm AEST) Visit Dabble Sha Tin Racecourse is the destination for Hong Kong racing this Sunday afternoon, with a competitive 10-race program set for decision. The rail moves to the C course for the meeting, and although some rainfall is expected to hit the track over the weekend, it shouldn’t have any effect on the Good 4 rating listed at the time of acceptances. The opening event at Sha Tin is scheduled to get underway at 1pm HKT. Best Bet at Sha Tin: All Round Winner All Round Winner makes his seasonal return after a 12-week absence and looks well placed dropping back into Class 4 company. The son of Divine Prophet produced two strong barrier trials leading into this first-up assignment, draws to get the run of the race from stall one, and should get the chance to stalk genuine tempo over the 1400m. Keith Yeung will need to circumnavigate the rail at some stage, but provided the breaks fall his way, All Round Winner should give this a real shake at a good price with horse racing bookmakers. Best Bet Race 7 – #5 All Round Winner (1) 4yo Gelding | T: David Hayes | J: Keith Yeung (60kg) Next Best at Sha Tin: Peridot Peridot caught the eye debuting at this course and distance on June 22. The Ribchester gelding relished sitting back off a strong tempo, then hitting the line well despite being forced to overcome some traffic issues mid-race. He has had two trials to prepare for this to offset the three months between runs, and the booking of Zac Purton shows good intent from the David Hall barn; it suggests Peridot is ready to fire on return. Next Best Race 3 – #4 Peridot (1) 4yo Gelding | T: David Hall | J: Zac Purton (58kg) Best Value at Sha Tin: Tomodachi Kokoroe The back-to-back barrier trial wins of Tomodachi Kokoroe have been impressive heading into this Class 2 contest, and it warrants respecting the David Hayes-trained gelding despite failing to post a win across 12 starts last season. Watch for Harry Bentley to be aggressive attempting to land in the first four in running, and with Tomodachi Kokoroe set to show his rivals a clean pair of heels at some stage, this guy will take plenty of chasing at each-way price with Dabble. Best Value Race 9 – #6 Tomodachi Kokoroe (6) 7yo Gelding | T: David Hayes | J: Harry Bentley (56kg) Sunday quaddie tips for Sha Tin Sha Tin quadrella selections Sunday, September 21, 2025 1-4-5-6-8 2-4-5-7-9 2-3-6 1-3-6-11 Horse racing tips View the full article
    • The reality of it is that the NZ TAB have people in charge that I consider are too conservative like accountants. They have been worrying about yield rather than turnover and if you turn over less but have a higher yield then you are probably be in trouble. This is a sure fire way of losing the existing punters and I have maintained this for so long. They now have to resurrect things as they must by now be aware that the cash splash from Entain will quickly stop and they will have very little to show for it Still away but has the CEO of HRNZ yet realised that they are struggling or is he still very positive?
    • Well it does not take a lot of early money to move a market these days but the main reason is the opening price was wrong, so naturally the market will gravitate towards the correct price once the public start betting. Bookies also get an advantage early as most of these markets opened at 135% a couple of the bigger fields with the emergencies even opened at 155 - 165% so yes they are pretty average with their opening odds sometimes.
    • Yes, just ordinary, but first up run in a race, let's see how the next start goes
