Would have liked to see her run. Maybe cause it's her they'll show the race on TVG.

If Snow Fairy has the green light to go on HK Intl day, it will be curious will it at 2000M or 2400M? The only distance she hasn't been effective at was the St. Leger distance which was a little too far for her. Ever since she stretched out from 2000 to 2400 she has been a very improved horse.

American distances please, we never learned metric here.
I think the St. Leger is 1-13/16ths, so almost 2 miles right.

Irian was pretty impressive in the prep for the 2000.

For a sec I thought wait am I in the HK thread, CSC...

Yeah it just seems like it took him longer then they were expecting, huh?

Nice horse. I keep meaning to look at his stuff from Germany on the hkjc site. I'll get to it someday!

On to the Japan Cup...

Before I forget, Colm O'Donoghue got the Joshua Tree (who might go to the HK Vase after this one) mount. I think he has a few fans here (the horse, not the jockey).

You know this is really great to have so many internationals and God knows I love VI but I keep coming back to the locals and Buena Vista aside? Man Oken Bruce Lee... remember how good he was in this race last year?

This will be his 3rd try (he was 5th 2 years ago and 2nd last year).

Too early to do this but however I play it i will absolutely include him.

The one name I've heard in terms of looking good right now is Rose Kingdom. (... and I believe he has Take up... not that that makes him a plus for me but I think it might for a few).

I'm playing Oken Bruce Lee and Rose Kingdom, just on your say-so. You are the bomb
