WINNING DRAGON
Improved sharply last term after stepping up to a mile, winning a total of six races from 13 starts. Further improved this season, achieving a career-best win in the 2025 G3 Centenary Vase (1800m) latest. Other feats include a gallant second in the 2024 Hong Kong Classic Cup (1800m) behind Helios Express and a victory at Class 1 level over 1600m last term. Consistent and ran another gallant race when fourth passed the post (relegated to sixth after an inquiry) in his first time of asking at Group 1 level in the 2024 G1 LONGINES Hong Kong Mile (1600m) two starts back. Prior to that he also ran well when second behind Voyage Bubble in the G2 BOCHK Private Wealth Jockey Club Mile (1600m) after flashing home late. Usually sits handy and has led in the past but is versatile. Honest, consistent and regularly competitive. Best seen on good surfaces.
Steady performer when trained by James Fanshawe in Great Britain pre-import, with one second, one third and one fourth in just three starts over the distance around one mile, twice on synthetic. Made a quick impact last season by winning over 1800m and 2000m. Consistent since then and added another 2000m win to his haul before narrowly being beaten in Class 2. Good effort when third behind Helios Express in the Hong Kong Classic Cup (1800m). Further improved this season, landing the G3 Sa Sa Ladies’ Purse (1800m). Solid efforts since then, including a fourth in both the G2 BOCHK Jockey Club Cup (2000m) and G1 LONGINES Hong Kong Vase (2400m). Placed third last start in the 2025 G3 Centenary Vase (1800m) latest. Races midfield but can also sit prominent, best form seen so far on good or good to firm ground. Can still improve.
Hong Kong Champion Stayer (2023/24). Winner of two races over 1800m and 2000m in Ireland pre-import. Acclimatised to Hong Kong and has raced consistently, with two wins, seven seconds and four thirds from 30 starts so far. Two-time winner in Class 3, both times over 2000m. Encouraging run when third behind Russian Emperor in the 2023 G1 Standard Chartered Champions & Chater Cup (2400m). In fine form in the latter part of the 2023/24 season, finished close seconds in both G3 Queen Mother Memorial Cup (2400m) and G1 Standard Chartered Champions & Chater Cup (2400m) behind La City Blance and Rebel’s Romance, respectively. Fair efforts in Group races this term, including a close fifth in the 2025 G3 Centenary Vase (1800m) last start. Hold up runner who thrives over 2400m. No ground issues.
Crowned Hong Kong Champion Four-Year-Old (2023/24) after landing consecutive wins at Group 3 level. Also placed second in 2024 BMW Hong Kong Derby (2000m) behind Massive Sovereign and to California Spangle in the 2024 G1 Queen’s Silver Jubilee Cup (1400m) last season. Showed further improvement this term, with an impressive first up win in the 2024 G2 Sha Tin Trophy (1600m) before racing wide to finish third behind Voyage Bubble in the 2024 G2 BOCHK Private Wealth Jockey Club Mile (1600m) three starts back. No luck in the 2024 G1 LONGINES Hong Kong Mile (1600m) when badly hampered in the straight from the widest of 14 barriers. Ran on well to finish second behind Voyage Bubble in the 2025 G1 Stewards’ Cup (1600m) latest. Still appears relatively untapped ability-wise. Sharp turn of foot and no ground concerns.
Consistent performer who improved out of sight last season once acclimatised, winning five races, including the 2024 G3 January Cup (1800m) at Happy Valley. Third in the 2024 G3 Premier Plate (1800m) before an encouraging fourth behind Voyage Bubble in the 2024 G2 BOCHK Private Wealth Jockey Club Mile (1600m). Solid recent efforts, including a creditable second behind Helene Feeling in the 2025 G3 January Cup (1800m) two starts back. Strong closer, can surprise and does do his best racing over 1600m to 2000m. Best on good ground.
Group 1 winner in Argentina pre-import, winning the 2021 G1 Gran Premio Jockey Club (2000m), following this he finished sixth in the 2021 G1 Gran Premio Nacional (2500m, dirt). Two wins and two seconds from six starts in Argentina. Finished 10th in both the 2023 Hong Kong Classic Mile (1600m) and Hong Kong Classic Cup (1800m). Subsequently opened his Hong Kong account over 1800m at Happy Valley in 2023. Since then he has developed into a handy stayer, including winning the 2024 G3 Queen Mother Memorial Cup (2400m) before placing third to Rebel’s Romance in the 2024 G1 Standard Chartered Champions & Chater Cup (2400m). Finished a gallant third as an outsider in the 2025 G3 January Cup (1800m) before finishing eleventh in the 2025 G3 Centenary Vase (1800m) latest. Can stay handily. Best on good going.
Group 2 and 3 winner in Hong Kong. Opened his account in the city in a Class 3 over 1800m at Sha Tin before claiming the 2023 G3 Queen Mother Memorial Cup (2400m). Finished fourth in the 2023 G1 Standard Chartered Champions & Chater Cup (2400m) behind Russian Emperor before winning the 2023 G2 BOCHK Jockey Club Cup (2000m). Finished a brave fourth in the 2023 G1 LONGINES Hong Kong Cup (2000m) behind quality performers and was arguably without luck late in the piece. Fine fifth to Romantic Warrior in the 2024 G1 LONGINES Hong Kong Cup (2000m) before finishing ninth in the 2025 G3 Centenary Vase (1800m) last time out. No ground concerns and is capable at times. Strong closer.
Group 2-placed pre-import in Australia. Winner of two races in his rookie season in Hong Kong and finished a gallant second to Super Sunny Sing in the 2023 Hong Kong Classic Cup (1800m), the second leg of the Four-Year-Old Classic Series. Career-best in Hong Kong saw him place second in the 2023 G2 BOCHK Jockey Club Cup (2000m). Lost his form since then but returned with an impressive win in his seasonal reappearance in October 2024 after switching from turf to dirt. Scored another convincing win on dirt over 1650m before fading to eighth in the 2025 G3 Centenary Vase (1800m) latest. Versatile, won on good and soft going, although prefers the dirt surface at present.
Established as Hong Kong’s leading miler when winning the 2024 G1 LONGINES Hong Kong Mile (1600m) in December before landing the 2025 G1 Stewards’ Cup (1600m) in January. Prior to that he also scored a gritty win as second favourite in the G2 BOCHK Private Wealth Jockey Club Mile (1600m). Biggest success was a surprise victory in the 2023 BMW Hong Kong Derby (2000m). Ricky Yiu’s galloper is now a nine-time winner across his career, including the 2023 Hong Kong Classic Mile (1600m) and 2024 G1 Stewards’ Cup (1600m). Narrow second to Romantic Warrior in last year’s edition of G1 Citi Hong Kong Gold Cup (2000m). Unplaced in Dubai and Japan in the second half of last campaign, but victories have shown he has returned to Hong Kong in career-best condition. Can race handily by making his own luck and is very versatile. No ground issues.
Five-time winner in Hong Kong and solid performer over 2000m this season, winning once and placing second twice in his four starts over the course and distance this season. Displayed one of his best efforts last start when second to Chancheng Glory in the 2025 G3 Centenary Vase (1800m) as a 28/1 outsider. A dual Group 1 victor in Chile pre-import, and has proven consistent on his day. Has tactical speed and looks further improved as a seven-year-old now. Best on good ground so far.
