The Hong Kong International Sprint has been taken out 12 times by Australian bred performers since its introduction in 1999 but a victory by the Gary Moore-trained Takedown or Gary Portelli's Rebel Dane next Sunday would make either only the second winner bred, owned and trained in this country.

Lucky Nine, one of Hong Kong racing’s greatest ambassadors, will bid farewell to his fans at Sha Tin on Sunday.

A good international season at the highest level for Irish-bred horses continued last weekend in Hong Kong and Australia.

Dual KrisFlyer International Sprint winner Lucky Nine was retired from racing on Tuesday.

The 2015/16 Hong Kong season opener is almost here and Sunday’s (6 September) curtain-raising 10-race card will be bursting, as usual, with the thrills, drama and excitement that are the quintessence of Hong Kong racing.
