What Happy Valley Races Where Happy Valley Racecourse – Wong Nai Chung Rd, Happy Valley, Hong Kong When Wednesday, April 23, 2025 First Race 6:40pm HKT (8:40pm AEST) Visit Dabble Happy Valley Racecourse is the destination for Hong Kong racing on Wednesday evening, with a bumper nine-part program set for decision. The rail is in the C position for the meeting, and although some rainfall is forecast leading into race-day, it shouldn’t affect the Good 4 rating at the time of acceptances. The opening event is scheduled to get underway at 6:40pm HKT. . Best Bet at Happy Valley: King Of Fighters King Of Fighters appeared to be on the brink of securing a maiden victory in his latest outing at this course and distance on April 2 but was forced to do too much work early before fading out of the contest. He warrants forgiving despite going under as the short-priced favourite with horse racing bookmakers and gets every chance to repay the faith from barrier three. Zac Purton gets legged aboard and should amble into the one-one throughout, and provided King Of Fighters can replicate his peak from two starts back, this guy will prove hard to hold out. Best Bet Race 7 – #5 King Of Fighters (3) 4yo Gelding | T: Tony Cruz | J: Zac Purton (56kg) Next Best at Happy Valley: All’s Well All’s Well caught the eye debuting at Happy Valley on April 2, getting back towards the rear of the field before being held up behind a wall of horses at a crucial stages. The son of Frosted was climbing all over the back of them as Ben Thompson went searching for a run, however, the breaks never fell his way and would settle for a mid-field finish. Gate three should allow Thompson to take closer order, and provided he can unleash with a strong turn-of-speed, All’s Well should end well for those taking the good price with . Next Best Race 4 – #6 All’s Well (3) 3yo Gelding | T: Dennis Yip | J: Ben Thompson (59kg) Best Value at Happy Valley: Draco The Ricky Yiu-trained Draco hasn’t been beaten far across his four starts this season and appears to be building to a win as he returns to his favoured Happy Valley circuit. He was far from disgraced chasing home South Star in his most recent outing at Sha Tin March 30; however, seemed to hit a flat spot at the end of 1400m. Back in trip should be ideal in this Class 4 contest, and with a genuine tempo allowing him to smoke the pipe in behind, watch for Draco to be steaming over the top at a good each-way price with . Best Value Race 5 – #12 Draco (8) 4yo Gelding | T: Ricky Yiu | J: Andrea Atzeni (54kg) Wednesday quaddie tips for Happy Valley Happy Valley quadrella selections April 23, 2025 1-2-5-11 1-3-5-9 1-3-7-9-10 2-3-4-7-8 Horse racing tips View the full article -

Jumbo Treasure was an easy victor at the end of March. (Photo: HKJC) Jumbo Treasure burst onto the scene with a smashing first victory last month and trainer Cody Mo’s young talent is aiming to recreate those heroics at Happy Valley in Wednesday night’s (April 23) Class 4 Lusitano Challenge Cup Handicap (1200m). Overcoming barrier 13 last start, Jumbo Treasure exploded to the front under Derek Leung before scoring by a comfortable two lengths at Sha Tin on March 30. The Written Tycoon gelding steps from gate six tomorrow night and will again sport cheek pieces. “He won well and the gear helped him a lot. He still doesn’t have much experience but he was quite professional. He jumped sharply, went to the front and led,” Leung said. “We’ll do the same again – if someone else wants to lead, we don’t mind and we can just sit to the outside – he can do either.” Jumbo Treasure carries nine more pounds as top-weight with 135lb assigned for his debut at Hong Kong’s tight-turning inner-city track. He faces Magniac (133lb), Flying Wrote (132lb), Sky Cap (132lb), Judy’s Great (129lb), Big Stride (128lb), Rising Phoenix (128lb), Magic Beans (124lb), New Power (124lb), Bienvenue (123lb), View All Things (123lb) and Draco (119lb). “The weight is against Jumbo Treasure but he isn’t a small horse, so I hope he can handle it. The field has more experience in it this time. I think he can keep improving and I hope he can win again,” Leung said. Leung, 36, has 20 wins this season. He also rides Joyful Life, Strongest Boy, To Infinity, Healthy Healthy and Lean Hero at the Valley. A son of Maurice, Lean Hero (118lb) contests the Class 3 Roselle Handicap (1800m) from gate three for trainer David Hayes. “He had an outside draw (nine) so we rode him quietly last start. Tomorrow, he has a nice draw and the 1800 metres is better for him. I hope he can be a bit closer,” Leung said. Lean Hero has won four times at Happy Valley. He opposes Money Catcher (135lb), Turin Mascot (134lb), Beauty Alliance (132lb), Fallon (130lb), Jumbo Legend (127lb), Luck Is Back (125lb), Excellence Value (124lb), Charity Gain (123lb), Chain Of Gold (120lb), Northern Beast (117lb) and Good Luck Win (115lb). Harry Bentley rides Jumbo Legend, and said: “If he can just relax and put his head down, which he did last time, then naturally he’s going to conserve that energy for later on when he needs it. Back down to 1800 metres – that’s not going to be an issue. “I remember him winning over 1200 metres on multiple occasions and flying home. Credit it to the horse he relaxed really well over the 2200 and never gave me a feeling that he wasn’t going stay out the trip.” Caspar Fownes’ versatile gelding Jumbo Legend has posted wins over 1200m, 1650m and 2200m at Happy Valley across his 35-start career. Karis Teetan has five wins through April. He pairs with a lightly-raced Watch This One for trainer Pierre Ng in the Class 3 Kalanchoe Handicap (1200m). The import was trained by Adam Campton in Australia, where he won smartly on debut at the Gold Coast by an easy two lengths. He has finished fourth in two Hong Kong runs. “I think he’s going to go out and be really competitive,” Teetan said. Horse racing news View the full article -
