Classic 20 - Jockey's hard urging wins Derby [01:58]
Hong Kong Derby (ST 1800m) 21/02/1987 (Tea for Two II, Flying Dancer) The Hong Kong Derby was first run in 1873, 11 years before the establishment of the Hong Kong Jockey Club, and this year marks the 131st renewal of the race. Like other derbies around the world, the Hong Kong Derby is...

Coetzee stars in CXIR Mile, Sprint Trial double (2) - Turf Race Highlights [03:20]
Race Meeting: 23/11/2008 Sha Tin Hong Kong Group Two - 1200 Metres THE CATHAY PACIFIC INTERNATIONAL SPRINT TRIAL Felix Coetzee produced a riding masterclass of contrasts to win both the Cathay Pacific International Mile and Sprint Trials and fuel hopes of local glory in the Turf World Championships on 14 December. The South African maestro outfoxed his rivals with a gem of a front-running ride aboard Egyptian Ra in the Mile Trial and had to summon every ounce of strength to force Enthused over the line a nose in front of Sunny Power in the Sprint equivalent. Now facing a five-meeting spell on the sidelines for weighing in light last weekend, Coetzee joked: "The wins have come just in time because I need some money for my holiday!" The fact that Egyptian Ra won the Cathay Pacific International Mile Trial could hardly be described as a shock despite the presence of the Horse of the Year, Good Ba Ba. It was, rather, the manner of victory that caught the breath. Few, if any, could have predicted an all-the-way romp by three and three-quarter lengths from Sight Winner with Good Ba Ba in third. The latter had little hope with the way the race was run - the time of 1 min 33.28 was marginally outside the track record - having been over ten lengths last at halfway. Trained by Tony Cruz, Egyptian Ra has long been known for his propensity to race too freely and burn his energy in the wrong part of the track. On this occasion, however, Coetzee bounced the seven-year-old to the front ...

Dim Sum Prevails in THE CHAIRMAN'S SPRINT PRIZE 2009 [03:17]
Race Meeting: 22/02/2009 Sha Tin RACE 8(413) Hong Kong Group One - 1200 Metres THE CHAIRMAN'S SPRINT PRIZE HK$ 4500000.00 Going : Good Course : Turf - "A+3" Course 1 DIM SUM(H226) J Winks 2 ENTHUSED(H303) D Whyte 3 SACRED KINGDOM(G268) O Doleuze Moore bags a Gr.1 double of contrasts with Viva Pataca, Dim Sum 22 February 2009 John Moore has enjoyed many major victories during his record-breaking career in Hong Kong, but no doubt Sunday's Gr.1 double will always rank highly. The provenance of the leading trainer's latest feature race brace could not have been more contrasting. First he witnessed Viva Pataca win the Citi Hong Kong Gold Cup for the second successive year as an odds-on favourite. A little over half an hour later, Dim Sum, ridden by new Club Jockey James Winks, shocked Sha Tin with a 50/1 upset in the Chairman's Sprint Prize. Moore's double was redolent of another of his finest hours when Viva Pataca won the 2006 Mercedes-Benz Hong Kong Derby and Billet Express - carrying the same pale blue and yellow colours of Dim Sum's owner David Pong Chun-yee - won this same sprint on the same programme. Viva Pataca's second successive victory in the second leg of the Citi Triple Crown did not come in the same facile fashion of a year earlier even if the still admirable Packing Winner never really looked like defeating last season's Champion Middle Distance horse. Darren Beadman pushed out Viva Pataca to score by a neck and record his sixth career Gr.1 success. "He was ...
