Wednesday at Happy Valley... this is really stupid but wonder if the (very sexy) race caller will have trouble with both Faster Faster and Master Master in the same race (R1).

Good luck to Regency Kindeom is the 3rd (Chadwick up), Not Quite Perfect (R5), and to Billion who I don't think will win but who I love in the final. (I'd go with Royal Pumpkin (the former Infer (AUS) there... Prebble up in that one).

* * *

Retired...

Supremecy, Dr. Possible,Happy Touch, Wilfred's Pet, Clasic Horse, Good Time Charlie, Super Special, High Mark.

We got new names!

Stand and Fight (IRE) is Young Supreme
Count John (IRE) is Coin a Legend
On Our Way (GB) is Chater Way
Berouni (FR) is Mighty High
Mount Hood (SAF) is China Dragon
Freetmantle (GB) is Straight Forward
Cat Striker (NZ) is Good Neighbor
Silent Killer (AUS) is Diamond Rainbow
Desirous (AUS) is Supreme Years
and oh, ummm Westphalia (IRE) is now Super Pistachio
(Think I've left out a few but I actually have a life so will have to get back to it)!

His first win was in November of 2004.

He won in September of 06, June of 07, and October of 2008.

Cheers to 9 year old Sound of Silence who, in his 72nd start yesterday, caused shock waves (26/1) at Sha Tin and won for the 5th time.

A priceless moment, this win for the old warrior far outweighs his rating (23 - he was the lowest rated horse to race yesterday), the type of race (Class 5), all of it.

Cheers to his trainer (Man), his jock (Leung), his connections, and to him.

Replay...
