Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted July 12, 2021 Journalists Share Posted July 12, 2021 Francis Lui’s Lucky Patch (NZ) (El Roca) proved too superior for his rivals in the Class 1 Hong Kong Racehorse Owners Association Trophy Handicap (1200m). The El Roca gelding clocked 1m 07.61s to lower Sacred Kingdom’s Class 1 mark of 1m 07.80s set in 2007. Lui believes the four-year-old can progress to better class. “If he can improve, I think he can be a Group horse. We might look at racing him in the Chief Executive’s Cup on opening day,” he said. The Chief Executive’s Cup Handicap is a Class One event over 1200m run on Hong Kong Jockey Clubs opening day of the new season in September. The El Roca gelding, formerly known as Paleontologist was a two-time winner in Australia prior to export, and has since won three times in Hong Kong taking his career earnings over HK$5.8 million.
