Purton one step closer to being Crowned champion again June 27, 2025 WITH the final curtain coming down for the season in Hong Kong in just over three weeks, it is understandable that local racing fans and bettors will be out in force at Sha Tin to support their money-making machine, jockey Zac Purton, as he hones in on his eighth title.

My Way could be set to make Chau’s Day at the Valley June 24, 2025 IT WAS good to see young jockey Jerry Chau with a smile on his face after partnering Fun Together to victory at Sha Tin last Sunday.

The forecast is dreadful, with heavy showers throughout the day and likely thunderstorms during the action. Young seven-pound [...]
Lightweight Energia to reach the Stars under Teetan June 13, 2025 WITH so many imponderables to weigh up due to rain, surface conditions, and likely track bias – suiting gallopers up with the early pace or finishing strongly – and there is going to be plenty of head-scratching from Hong Kong form students. Maybe ‘patience’ is the key word and to wait for the finale when [...]
