 That's my boy. Shame he has been retired. Do you know why he only raced three times in Hong Kong in nearly three years?? If i remember rightly, he was one of Fallon's favs over here, not because he was really good, but because he was hard work and a real character. He was very good in his home work, but on the track he couldn't be bothered.

Don't know what happened..... I'll try to find out but I know it was just in the last week or so. By the way, he was one of Dr. John's adoptees so i did keep tabs on him. Hopefully he's somewhere nice(r) now.

It's a shame he never did that well over there. Oh well, i'm sure he will enjoy his retirment, from what i heard about him at Michael Stoutes he was quite a lazy individual.

From the all-knowing, all-seeing Hong Kong Jockey Club.....
Seven trainers confirm to Ride for Charity 30 August 2007 Seven of Hong Kong's racehorse trainers will face the starter in the inaugural Ride for Charity on September 9, the opening day of the 2007/08 season. This unique exhibition dash will take place over 800m down the Sha Tin straight before the first race of new campaign. The horses taking part are rated between 58 and 38 and they will compete at 'catch weights' - that is, without weight restrictions. The runners and riders are as follows: Trainer Horse Brand no Ratings Chang C W SHINING DRAGON C181 58 Cruz D GANBARIA E052 48 Lui K W ARROGANCE A177 57 Moore J SUNNY GOLF H138 51 Tsui Y S GENERAL KINGY B039 52 Yip C H WILD ACE H009 57 Yiu P F SIR OCTAVIUS B427 38 (RESERVE - GLOBE RIVER) D228 32 Veteran sprinter General Kingy, to be ridden by Me Y S Tsui, is by far the most experienced of the runners down the Sha Tin chute having tackled the minimum distance 25 times for two wins and three placed runs. Tsui, who is much lighter than his fellow riders, has shown his gracious sportsmanship in agreeing to ride at 118 pounds. John Moore is also riding a sprint specialist - albeit one with far less experience - in the three-year-old Sunny Golf who once placed in three attempts at the short course as a griffin last term. Moore, 57, who rode in the 1970s, can't wait to climb into the saddle before a Hong Kong audience once again. "I would like to thank the Jockey Club for this great innovation. Allowing the trainers to go out and compete will create a lot of fun and interest. It's great for all concerned, but most of all for charity because HK$200,000 is a lot of money," he said. "My son George has seen me ride and says I'm possibly better off training - but that's his opinion! I'm riding Joyful Winner in the mornings, I'm getting fitter every day and I'm really looking forward to the race." Highest rated of the field is Shining Dragon, the mount of Michael C W Chang, on a mark of 58. On the other hand, Ricky P F Yiu is aboard the lowest-ranked contender Sir Octavius (38). Yiu also has Globe River (32) as a reserve. The barrier draw for the trainers' mounts will take place in the Jockey Club Box at Sha Tin Racecourse on Tuesday, September 4.
