Do you hae a pick, ed?

I'm so excited I'll be happy for whoever wins! :D

My only real picks are Peppermint in R7 and Eight Plus Nine in the final - both longshots.

I'm a fan of every single horse here but I suppose I'd be in tears if one of the members of the old guard like Good Ba Ba or Able One won it...

It's all good.

Come home safe, all of you.

I'd love to see Thumbs Up or Beauty Flash win, but I think Presvis is going to be so hard to beat.

Wow, I didn't expect that. Good for Darren.

I haven't even watched it yet and yeah nice for him and all but wow Ba Ba was last... :confused:

I'll watch it in a while and sure I'm happy for the connections just busy and not in a rush to see it...

Multiglogy (and Chadwick) beat the Sacred one...

http://www.hkjc.com/english/racing/r...eno=3&venue=ST

The Dragon wins (kinda bummed I missed the pre-race thing... did Ms. River Jetez act all irritated again or was she good? She's a difficult girl!)...

http://www.hkjc.com/english/racing/r...eno=8&venue=ST

Great races! I didn't get to see them live, so thanks for posting.

I never get to see them live!

I listen on the HKJC site and then usually watch the replay right after (thankfully it's posted right away) but I'd have a better chance of taking the space shuttle out for a spin that to actually see Sha Tin on tv here. :wf

Barrier trials... (BLzae King and Green Birdie in batch 1)... :)

http://www.hkjc.com/english/press/btrs.asp

Hahahaha Not Quite Perfect gets a win and I miss it?

Zac! :tro:

http://racing.scmp.com/freeservice/n...s20110511b.asp

Kevin Leung Ka-Wai's career is officially over. :(

Poor kid- I wish he had gotten another chance.

* * *

Too much to catch up on right now but good luck in Singapore HK Raiders and happy retirement to One World.

Quick Touch, who was Let's Ride back at home in NZ, broke down and thee's no vets report so I don't think it's looking too good (I don't want to watch the replay)...

Hope he's okay though. :(

Not all members of the old guard disappointed this weekend...Sight Winner won the ATV Cup...

http://www.hkjc.com/english/racing/r...eno=7&venue=ST

* * *

New arrivals... Brightexpectations (???!!!) arrived last week and is being trained by Yip (!!!). :)

The "Helene" people bought Arasin and named him Helene Spirit.

Forgot to mention Crown Witness had a win last week (CHadwick up). Hooray for the De SIlva's!

Hong Kong Raiders!

Beauty Flash and Thumbs Up to the Yasuda Kinen (June 5th)...

Sight Winner didn't get an invite this time around... :rolleyes: :wf :confused:

R1 - named for VoR. :cool:

Beauty Flash and Thumbs Up already left for Japan (Yasuda Kinen) and Brettie :{>: :D and Weichong given permission to go and ride...

Retired... Country Magic. 58 starts... hope he gets to go somewhere nice!

Those are great fields, as usual.

Also, good luck to Alvin Ng, who heads back to Hong Kong later this week. His riding here in NZ really impressed me, and I'm sure he'll do well back home.

Hope he does well!

Well it's was Beadmans night.

I didn't post my picks but I was wrong all over the place.

Cheers to Mighty High and to Dim Sum!

Another win for Crown Witness and Chadwick!

Sweet Sanette left this morning for her run in the King's Stand. :)

Good luck to the Raiders!

I'm so stupid and confused, ed...

Is he listed as KC Ng cause if so he already had 2 winners last night. :)

Congrats to Able Speed (SKOL Cup)!

That's him! So happy for him.

That's awesome, ed. :)

Horseradish now out of Ascot as he's been sold to someone in HK.

Oooh I hope they keep his name. :D
