The BMW Champions Mile at Sha Tin

[my miss storm cat]

Sorry but it's almost criminal to run Beauty Flash here...

Has NOT been the same horse since Dubai and even in his barrier trials... he was fantastic but just don't look the same and hasn't.

Even with the Chadwick up... it's a shame. Can't expect the kid to pull of a miracle.

For me it comes down to Lucky Nine or Xtension.

Good old Able One is my favorite horse in the field so good luck to him of course but I don't think so - not this time - although he could get up for a piece of it.

It's awesome that King's Rose and Musir made the tripover (as well as the rest of course) but it looks like the locals have it covered.
