Reigning champion trainer Ricky Yiu is optimistic a timely distance rise can trigger Excellent Chariot’s return to the winners’ list in the Class 3 Devon Handicap (1400m) at Sha Tin on Saturday (April 17).
The G1 Satsuki Sho (2000m), the equivalent of the 2000 Guineas as the first race in Japan’s Triple Crown, will be held this coming Sunday 18 April at Nakayama Racecourse, east of Tokyo, with 16 colts nominated.
