It took some reassuring words from jockey Christophe Lemaire but trainer Yasutoshi Ikee believes Satono Diamond is over last year’s Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe thrashing and ready to regain his spark in the Group One Osaka Hai at Hanshin. A Derby runner-up, Japanese St Leger winner and Arima Kinen winner at three, Satono Diamond went to France at four with the usual hype that surrounds a Japanese-trained Arc hopeful. Unfortunately he met the same fate as all that have gone before him... View the full article

Top South African trainer Mike de Kock is hoping strong Dubai World Cup night performances by Janoobi and Al Sahem can convince connections to come to Sha Tin and it isn’t just the Champions Day features he is aiming at. The trainer’s Dubai Turf entry Janoobi holds an entry for the Group One Champions Mile on April 29 but perhaps of more interest is that a big run in the Dubai Gold Cup could result in Al Sahem contesting the Standard Chartered Champions & Chater Cup on May 28....

Harmony Hero looked one of the best things beaten all season first-up but the Richard Gibson-trained import will have to deal with another awkward draw on Monday at Sha Tin. Some impressive Australian form and three classy trials saw Harmony Hero sent out 2.5 favourite over 1,200m on March 11 but everything went wrong from the outset. Harmony Hero was one of the slowest away but Tommy Berry pushed forward anyway and soon ended up three wide with no cover in a race run at solid early clip. As a... View the full article

The Me Tsui Yu-sak-trained Dazzle Winner did not bring much prior form to Happy Valley on Wednesday night but he left the track with his name in plenty of black books. Despite not looking hopeless in one or two early trials, Dazzle Winner was completely outrun in his first six starts, beating home a total of seven rivals but five of those in his first race. Tsui only tried him at distances as far as 1,400m, but his breeding certainly indicated that he would be needing further than that if he... View the full article

Tommy Berry will be the first stable-retained jockey in almost a decade to switch to a club contract after the Jockey Club agreed to the dissolution of his arrangement with trainer John Moore. Berry has endured a difficult season, with only seven of his 13 wins being for Moore and the trainer himself has had 14 winners with outside jockeys aboard. The Jockey Club licensing committee agreed on Thursday to revoke Berry’s stable retained licence and simultaneously issue a club jockey licence... View the full article

The Hong Kong career of Italian jockey Alberto Sanna is starting to look like a case study in persistence after he carried off a double at Happy Valley on Wednesday night including his biggest win yet on Gold Mount. In February, Sanna had been in the doldrums, with two wins since the start of his stint in December, none for seven weeks and he wasn’t attracting the kind of support to change that. But Sanna only worked himself harder, waiting for his luck to turn, and has ridden seven... View the full article

Japanese-trained runners have earned a reputation as fierce competitors on foreign soil but as a record 14 runners descend on Dubai, star jockey Christophe Lemaire believes the country’s horses are still underrated. On Saturday the French jockey rides three Japanese horses, including Derby hero Rey De Oro in the US$6 million Sheema Classic, on what could be a banner night for the proud racing nation at Meydan. “There is no doubt the Japanese horses, and the trainers, are underrated...

Leaders, leaders, leaders. It was awfully hard to get away from them at Sha Tin on Sunday. From the seven winners on turf, both 1,000m winners led all the way, Agree, Regency Bo Bo, and Audacity were all in front entering the home straight, Right Call was second and Simply Brilliant was the run-on star of the day, coming from third to score. That may have given the appearance of bias on the turf and there may have been some minor element of that, but largely the circle events were run in a... View the full article

Trainer Ricky Yiu Poon-fai looks to have a great hand in the Happy Valley Vase (1,800m) and might even pull off an upset with Jolly Banner trying a distance for the first time. Yiu saddles up the eight-time Valley winner and possible pacemaker Packing Dragon (Matthew Poon Ming-fai), who is looking to post three straight wins at the track but his second stringer Jolly Banner (Jack Wong Ho-nam) is also of interest with a nice run from the draw and a claim. Jolly Banner has a terrific record of 20... View the full article
