No better example of how important Jockeyship is in HK than the last 2 races. Absolute pearlers from Atzeni and Williams on winners, less so on some of the favs in each

Godolphin have 3.4 million worth of horse flesh in the last at Meydan, running for 25k of Sheikh Mohammed’s own money, only to get beat by a horse from Spain bought out of Kevin Ryan’s yard for 18,000gns. Sue Perb

This but change 12:30 and to 3pm and Meslier x3.
He's such a liability, potentially could cost us promotion at this rate, another 2pts squandered. Thought Farke's game management terrible too

Being a Bengals fan must be head frying, the clock management on that drive was insanely bad

That might be the first time I’ve ever enjoyed a goal from the scum πŸ˜‚

Very impressive start in HK for Alexis Pouchin, kid can sure ride

Complete bottle from the ref. Honestly the difference in standards of cards between champo and the prem is incredible. That’s a straight red in the prem!

Now at the throw every attacker on the field and hope for the best part of the Farke away performance #LUFC

Genuinely incredible how many times we’ve watched this exact game, 1-0 defeat away always the same pattern, no urgency or momentum, slow build up, usually a sloppy goal to concede. Farke never changing anything until 70 mins every time. Infuriating #LUFC

Add joke ref decisions, joke that’s not given as a second yellow. If he’s not on one already it’s 100% given #LUFC

Also Stunning Peach the unluckiest horse in HK so far, called it when he won last season but that's a Group horse all over, honestly think he wins the Derby #IJC

Some boy Barza, 25/1 outsider of field for IJC, gets his 2.8 shot unplaced but bolts up with 2 winners and second, plus another winner earlier in the card. Great night of racing, can't wait for Sunday now #HKIR #IJC

Feels a very long time since any Euro horse even placed in this though, I may be wrong but potentially bordering on 20 years? Def a flattering element to Goliath’s King George win imo & Auguste for me hasn’t been at his peak all season. Agree on Justin Palace, Shin Emperor off Euro campaign not sure

20.11.2024 19:07 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

Those Euro ratings look pretty inflated to me, there's no way there should only 2 Japanese horses in that field rated higher than all 3 of them?

Oh don’t get me wrong think it’s great for the sport that they’re trying it but it’s such a big leap into the unknown, unsure I’d be putting my eggs all into that basket. For me I’d have just gone straight to Saudi and worked from there, Meydan/Riyadh are two entirely different tracks and tests

Sounds like Al Mak R2, Saudi, World Cup. Not a big fan of that, on board with chancing Saudi as much more forgiving for turf types, no hiding place at Meydan & breaking him in there FT dirt over 9.5f is far from ideal, not to mention prob faces Laurel River in all 3 & on his patch #RomanticWarrior

He’s beaten a paltry field first up but the way Romantic Warrior has been trialling suggests he’s genuinely better than ever, slick time he’s run there backs it up. Hugely exciting season ahead for him #RomanticWarrior
