    • Thank you for that Pam.  I often think it be a great idea if someone in authority was to keep an eye on comments on places like this and come on occasionally to clarify situations which might often have a simple explanation.
    • Voyage Bubble careers away for his fourth Group 1 win. Photo: HKJC James McDonald attributed a dramatic HK$13 million Group 1 Citi Hong Kong Gold Cup (2000m) victory to Voyage Bubble’s class and courage after the pair overcame several obstacles at Sha Tin on Sunday. Having arrived at Sha Tin from Riyadh, where he partnered Romantic Warrior into second place in a pulsating Group 1 Saudi Cup (1800m, dirt), McDonald encountered trouble near the 800m when Voyage Bubble clipped heels, resulting in the pair being shuffled to second last in the 10-horse field. Unflustered, McDonald regrouped before spearing a willing Voyage Bubble through a gap at the 300m before the Deep Field gelding powered clear away from Ensued to win by almost four lengths with Chancheng Glory third in 2:00.59. 2025 Group 1 Hong Kong Gold Cup Replay – Voyage Bubble https://horsebetting.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Sha-Tin-2025-Group-1-Hong-Kong-Gold-Cup-23022025-Voyage-Bubble-Ricky-Yiu-James-McDonald.mp4 “It wasn’t smooth sailing but he’s a great racehorse. I’m lucky to have him as a partner because he got me out of a sticky situation. It was very muddling and he overcame many obstacles throughout that race to come away for a great victory,” McDonald said. “We got shuffled back but he’s a great racehorse and he got us out of trouble. We might have found a new way of riding him as well. Who knows? “He’s not a one-trick pony, he’s got so many strings to his bow and I really enjoy riding him even though it was hairy through the middle stages – it wasn’t ideal at all.” With his 10th victory from 24 starts, Voyage Bubble kept alive hopes of landing a HK$10 million bonus for winning all three legs of the Triple Crown Series. With the Group 1 Stewards’ Cup (1600m) and Hong Kong Gold Cup already secured, the Deep Field gelding needs to win the Group 1 Standard Chartered Champions & Chater Cup (2400m) on May 25 to sweep the series and become the second horse to do so after River Verdon (1993/94). “That’s (2400m) another pain barrier he’s got to go through and he’s a great racehorse and we have seen it with the great horse (Romantic Warrior) last night how good these Hong Kong horses are – they’re as tough as they come – and they fly the flag anywhere,” McDonald said. “Definitely going to be a new challenge for him, but he’s up to it.” Revelling in his first Group 1 success at 2000m, Yiu said: “I’m a bit optimistic to run him over 2400m. Before James takes off tonight, we’re going to have a little celebration party and I’m going to have a good chat with him to see where we go next. I’m pretty optimistic – we’ll take the challenge.” Horse racing news View the full article
    • Ka Ying Rising makes it 10 wins in a row with success in the Group 1 Queen’s Silver Jubilee Cup (1400m). Photo: HKJC Ka Ying Rising continued his imperious reign as Hong Kong’s sprint monarch with a superb victory in the HK$13 million Group 1 Queen’s Silver Jubilee Cup (1400m) for David Hayes and Karis Teetan at Sha Tin on Sunday (23 February) as the world’s joint highest-rated sprinter landed his third Group 1. Settling outside the leader and last year’s winner California Spangle, Ka Ying Rising cruised to the lead entering the straight before rallying late under pressure to resist the charge of John Size-trained quartet Helios Express (second), Howdeepisyourlove (third), Beauty Eternal (fourth) and Red Lion (fifth). Recording a slick 1:20.33 at his first attempt over 1400m, Ka Ying Rising notched his 11th win from 13 starts to secure the second leg of the Hong Kong Speed Series. Having already annexed the Group 1 Centenary Sprint Cup (1200m), Ka Ying Rising will attempt to clinch a HK$5 million bonus with success in the HK$22 million Group 1 Chairman’s Sprint Prize (1200m) at Sha Tin on April 27. Hayes admitted to rare anxiety when Helios Express emerged from a chasing pack to raise a serious challenge at the 200m. “I had a nervous moment at the 200m but on the line I think he was holding them very well. It was an enjoyable last 100m but a frightening 200m,” Hayes said. “(Karis) said when he put him under pressure he responded and he felt he didn’t have to give him much more. “He’s a very special horse. There should be a lot more to come. “I have always said he’s a miler but he’s just such a good sprinter (so) I’m a bit loath to change. They were closer to him at the 1200m than the 1400m. He’s got two more races for an undefeated season, or maybe one race if he feels this (race).” 2025 Group 1 Queen’s Silver Jubilee Cup Replay – Ka Ying Rising https://horsebetting.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Sha-Tin-2025-Group-1-Queens-Silver-Jubilee-Cup-23022025-Ka-Ying-Rising-David-Hayes-Karis-Teetan.mp4 Hayes indicated he would monitor Ka Ying Rising’s recovery from today’s race before finalising plans for the Chairman’s Sprint Prize. “He’s won 10 in a row at basically a month between runs so I’m a bit loath to change if he does well. Substituting for injured Zac Purton, Teetan was ecstatic post-race. “It’s unbelievable how this opportunity came up to be sitting on one of the world’s best horses. I’m just really thankful that everything worked out well – I think I was just the pilot on him today,” the Mauritian said. “He flew out of the gate, I wanted him to use the early speed that he has but sort of dropped my hands and he just came back to me pretty easily and he was waiting for me to press the button and, when I did, he produced really well. “I want to thank the owner and David and finally Zac. I spoke to him during the week and he was really kind. He said ‘Just know you’re on the best horse and ride him like that and trust him’, so thank you to Zac.” Ka Ying Rising forged through the 400m section from 1200m to the 800m in 21.67s before clocking 45.46s for the final 800m, while fellow Group 1 winner Beauty Eternal produced the best final 800m split of 44.99s. By Shamexpress, Ka Ying Rising gave the Hayes family a Group 1 double across the weekend following Mr Brightside’s win in the Group 1 Futurity Stakes (1400m) at Caulfield Racecourse on Saturday.
