Sacred Kingdom departs...
http://www.hkjc.com/english/news/news_2009060722290.htm Scratched and retired today..... 10 year old Amo. You'll be missed! His record, replays... http://www.hkjc.com/english/racing/h...&Option=1#htop * * * NAMJONG SKY HKJC On Wednesday 3 June 2009, the Stewards interviewed Mr S Woods, the trainer of NAMJONG SKY, which suffered a catastrophic injury when it fractured the sesamoid bones in its left front leg shortly after entering the Home Straight in batch 2 of the official barrier trials held at Sha Tin on 2 June 2009. Also interviewed were Dr B D Stewart, Head of Veterinary Regulation & International Liaison, Dr K H Lam, Veterinary Officer, Jockey Z Purton who rode NAMJONG SKY in the official barrier trial, Mr J Gadsby, Expert Work Rider, Mr C K Tsang, Assistant Trainer to Mr Woods, and Mr C P Ting, Work Rider I, who is allocated to the stable of Mr Woods. The evidence disclosed that NAMJONG SKY was transferred to Mr Woods' stable on 2 April 2009. On the day following its arrival at Mr Woods' stable, NAMJONG SKY was ridden in light work by Mr Gadsby. Following this work, Mr Woods and Mr Gadsby spoke and both expressed concerns over the action of the horse. Because of this Mr Woods requested his Clinical Veterinary Surgeon investigate the horse's poor action. It was noted NAMJONG SKY had a history of ongoing soreness in both front legs and also the left hind leg. During the clinical examination of NAMJONG SKY on 3 April 2009, X-rays were taken of all four legs. On 9 April 2009, bone scans were conducted on all four legs of NAMJONG SKY. The examination of NAMJONG SKY showed the horse to have degenerative changes in all four fetlock joints. The bone scans showed no active fracture lesions in the horse's legs. Because of these findings, the Department of Veterinary Regulation & International Liaison decided NAMJONG SKY would be required to pass an official veterinary examination prior to being permitted to race again. Mr Woods said because of the veterinary findings he eased off the work being given to NAMJONG SKY to assist the horse in recovering from its issues. He said NAMJONG SKY resumed fast work on 6 May 2009 when in his opinion the horse's action was suitable to have pressure applied to it. He said as the progress of NAMJONG SKY continued to satisfy him, the horse was entered for and took part in an official barrier trial at Sha Tin on 19 May 2009 immediately after which the horse was subjected to the required official veterinary examination. Z Purton, who rode NAMJONG SKY in this trial, advised the Stewards he was satisfied with the action of the horse during the trial. Dr Lam, who examined NAMJONG SKY after the trial, advised the horse passed the official veterinary examination when no soreness was evident in its action. Mr Woods said he then continued to work NAMJONG SKY in accordance with his usual stable routine and entered the horse for a further official barrier trial on 2 June 2009. He said he hoped to start NAMJONG SKY in a race prior to the end of the season. He said there had been no cause to have NAMJONG SKY examined or treated by a Clinical Veterinary Surgeon between the official barrier trials in which it took part. NAMJONG SKY was again ridden by Z Purton in the official barrier trial, 1050 Metres, on 2 June 2009 and said he was satisfied with the horse's action on the way to the Start and during the trial until NAMJONG SKY went amiss near the 400 Metres and fell. Mr Gadsby said after riding NAMJONG SKY on 3 April 2009, he advised Mr Tsang that he did not wish to ride the horse in further work due to its action. Mr Gadsby said he was not then rostered to ride NAMJONG SKY again until 28 April 2009. He said the only other occasion he was rostered to ride NAMJONG SKY was Monday 1 June 2009 and on that morning after riding the horse in the trotting ring to warm it up for its work, he advised Mr Woods that he did not wish to ride the horse on the training track. He said Mr Woods then organised him to swap horses with Mr Ting prior to proceeding to the track. Mr Gadsby told the Stewards he did not wish to ride NAMJONG SKY on the track on the morning of 1 June 2009 because he generally did not like the action of the horse and not that he had specific concerns with the horse's action that morning. He said in his opinion the action of NAMJONG SKY was similar on each of the three occasions he had ridden the horse and there had been no noticeable deterioration in the action of NAMJONG SKY during the period the horse had been trained by Mr Woods. Mr Ting said he had frequently ridden NAMJONG SKY in work since the horse had joined Mr Woods' stable and in his opinion the horse's action was satisfactory and had not deteriorated in that time. He said when he worked NAMJONG SKY on 1 June 2009, the action of the horse was not of a concern to him. Dr Stewart advised the inquiry that in his opinion the investigation of NAMJONG SKY's soreness was appropriate. On the evidence before them, the Stewards did not believe it appropriate for this matter to be taken further. |

Retired... Puerto Rico, former AOB runner who was shipped to Hong Kong a couple of years ago and who went downhill fast.
He started with a Class 1 rating and with one exception in 24 starts (he was 3rd) was never better than 8th and usually last. From Class 1 to a rating of 28. Sad stuff. He had been pretty nice... 2 wins at the Curragh at 2 and at 3, once breating home a field of 26. 2 0 2 of 6 with AOB. Hope he gets to start a new career. Happy retirement. About time... Retired as well... Spy King, Never Look Back, Palais d'Or, Rice Field, Keen Taker, Supurb Gains,. Race 7 on Sunday... Dynamic Blitz and Warrior! Friday barrier trials.... Jackpot Delight wins batch 1! Good luck to the sole Hong Kong Raider, aka the Hong Kong Bomb, tomorrow. http://racing.scmp.com/freeservice/n...s20090617c.asp http://racing.scmp.com/freeservice/n...ws20090617.asp http://racing.scmp.com/freeservice/n...s20090619b.asp |

YEA!!! http://www.virtualformguide.com/cgi-...ebrilliant.txt Helene Brilliant Takes Aim At Gosford The open spaces at Marcus Wilson's Hunter Valley property suit Hong Kong import Helene Brilliant who is primed to recapture winning form in the Takeover Target Stakes at Gosford. The young trainer won the PJ Bell Championship at Randwick earlier this month with Carrizo Creek who also came from Hong Kong. On the same day, Helene Brilliant failed by just a neck to give Wilson a city double when beaten by Parfumier. "I have a few horses that have come from Hong Kong and it takes them a while to acclimatise and a few runs to hit their straps," Wilson said. "Helene Brilliant is enjoying the atmosphere in Australia and ran a good race at Randwick. "He over-raced a bit and had to work hard. "He carried four kilos more than the winner so it was a good effort." As a young horse racing as Doctor Brown in England, Helene Brilliant beat Cockney Rebel who went on to win the English and Irish 2000 Guineas. Doctor Brown also ran second to Excellent Art in a Group Two race before being sold in 2007 to Hong Kong where he was renamed and won two races. The Bart Cummings-trained Kroner was installed favourite for Wednesday's feature in TAB Sportsbet's first markets. He was at $3.20 on Monday ahead of Grand Rhumba ($7.5) and Innings and Welkom Gold ($8.50). Helene Brilliant was at $21 but Wilson said he had a few things in his favour. "He's got a good barrier with nine and a good jockey in Kerrin McEvoy," he said. "He has also won a barrier trial at Gosford on a heavy track so I know he can handle it." The son of trainer John Wilson, Marcus has had his own licence for three years and prepares his team at a state of the art facility on 200 acres at Singleton. "The property is owned by one of my clients John Burton who is an owner and a breeder," Wilson said. "We have a 1200 metre all weather track to train on with a 400 metre straight. "There's a walking machine, a swimming pool and also 18 day yards. "It's a great atmosphere for the horses." Kroner has earned his favouritism with four wins from his past five starts, three on heavy tracks. Nuclear Medicine is expected to back up from his fourth to News Alert in the Saturday's Healy Stakes at Eagle Farm. The Gordon Yorke-trained gelding has won seven races, six on slow or heavy. Gosford was a heavy 10 on Monday with some improvement predicted with fine weather over the next couple of days. |

Sorry to tell you that I didn't manage to win the Golden Jubilee Stakes last Saturday, but just running at Royal Ascot in front of all those smartly-dressed people was a fantastic experience and I don't think I did badly to finish 5th, as some of the other lads in the race were very strong and competitive. I'm sure it must have been a bit disappointing for all our loyal fans back home, but Brett and I did our very best. Frankly, I was not very suited to the undulation of the track. Anyway, I'm still feeling fine and I've learnt a lot from the experience, so hopefully I can get back on the winning trail again for you very soon. I'll be back in Hong Kong on coming Saturday early morning (27/6), and I'll talk to you again then. Last edited by my miss storm cat : 06-26-2009 at 04:19 PM. |
