Failure Of Top Champion Jockeys And Longest Priced Winner At Hong Kong Races

By S C Sharma | 05-Jun-2020

One of the most talking point of this wednesday's  races at happy valley, HK races was the win of horse no 11 Top Military the 6yr old in the fourth race in a field of 12 runners class 4 race 60-40 over a distance of 1200 mts. beating the universal media choice and many experts common choice horse no 1 Sky Show . Top Military offered 284/1 for win and 33.9 for place which is the longest priced winner in last 49 years at happy valley since HK racing  turned professional in 1971. The winner clocked 1.09.96 for the 1200 mts trip and after the race the jockey T H So ( Ben So ) admitted  " Unbelievable " if you see the record of the horse you could not expect he had run that well. Trainer T P Young  stated  " not anticipated to run as well as did. " He further stated that application of Blk could be the reason for surprise  success . He was simply expecting a better performance. Sky Show's defeat at well backed odds 1.6 surprised and shocked many horse lovers and experts.

Past few meetings at Sha Tin and Happy Valley really disappointed many with top champion jockeys dismissal performance. J Moreira after facing one meeting ban returned but not opened the account thus giving Z Purton five wins lead. The three time champion jockey's last 22 rides fatched no win. This sunday the Brazilian jockey having 9 rides in 10 race card and Z Purton having 8 rides in 10 race card  but JM is hoping better performance as he rates this weeks rides are better compare with previous two meetings. Z Purton's tally remains at 128 wins and J Moreira is on 123 wins followed by way behind K Teetan  76 wins. Hoping again competitive and excited races at Sha Tin on Sunday first race to start at 10.15 am IST.

@ S.C.Sharma

This is known as blood letting! The track condition also played a vital role.

Zac is ahead by 5. he cannot be caught now. From my data analysis Zac is like our Srinath. Rides top weighted horses well.

Tomorrow is another day as you are aware. The competition Between Purton and Moreiera , in my view, will be renewed again tomorrow.

Cheers

HONG KONG races are a give and take buisness where everyone is kept happy.

Horses Win and come on board in turns so that everyone earns their cornbill

The two champs Z purton and J Morea take punters to the royal dry cleaner every day

very rarely a horse wins two races in succession.Also when a horse places then next outing it becomes favourite and one can be dead sure it will be board out.

In a nut shell HK races is full of humbug just like Indian racing
