Hong Kong Racing 2014/15

[Arletta]

The Hong Kong racing public bid a collective farewell Sunday to onetime Horse of the Year California Memory, who has been retired from racing at the age of nine. The only horse in history to record back-to-back runnings of the G1 Hong Kong Cup, the diminutive gray, bred by Fred Seitz, won 12 times and amassed earnings of nearly US$6.7 million. He will live out his days at Living Legends Retirement Facility in Australia.

John Blance is the new presenter/commentator/pundit with the HKJC for this upcoming year. Comes from Britain where he calls for At The Races and SIS. Can't say I know too much about him and his calls are a bit hard to find but interested to see how he gets on!
