2023/24 Hong Kong Champion Sprinter. Biggest win came in the 2022 G1 LONGINES Hong Kong Mile (1600m) over Golden Sixty. Scored an all-the-way win in the 2023 G2 Sha Tin Trophy (1600m) before losing form and was subsequently stepped back to sprinting, winning the 2024 G1 Queen’s Silver Jubilee Cup (1400m) and 2024 G1 Al Quoz Sprint (1200m). Now races over the mile again for the first time since the 2024 G1 Stewards’ Cup (1600m) when fourth to Voyage Bubble. Fine effort first-up this term for third behind Ka Ying Rising in the 2024 G2 Premier Bowl (1200m) carrying 135lb. Ran a close fourth in the 2024 G1 LONGINES Hong Kong Sprint (1200m) before fading to ninth in the 2025 G3 Chinese Club Challenge Cup (1400m) latest. Likes to lead and does his best racing there.
Established himself as Hong Kong’s leading miler when winning the 2024 G1 LONGINES Hong Kong Mile (1600m) in December which followed a gritty win as second favourite in the G2 BOCHK Private Wealth Jockey Club Mile (1600m). Biggest success came as a surprise with victory in 2023 BMW Hong Kong Derby (2000m). Ricky Yiu’s galloper is now an eight-time across his career, also including the 2023 Hong Kong Classic Mile (1600m) and 2024 G1 Stewards’ Cup (1600m). Second to Golden Sixty in 2023 G1 LONGINES Hong Kong Mile (1600m) before winning the most recent edition of the race. 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 and is very versatile. No ground issues.
Achieved a career-best performance when leading throughout to win the 2024 G1 FWD Champions Mile (1600m). The chestnut was third in the 2023 BMW Hong Kong Derby (2000m) behind Voyage Bubble, his sole run over the distance. Sixth in the 2023 G1 LONGINES Hong Kong Mile (1600m) behind Golden Sixty before finishing second to Voyage Bubble in in the 2024 G1 Stewards’ Cup (1600m). Sixth first-up in the 2024 G2 Sha Tin Trophy (1600m) three starts ago before a weakening eighth in the G2 BOCHK Private Wealth Jockey Club Mile (1600m). Ran well in 2024 G1 LONGINES Hong Kong Mile (1600m), trying to make all and just weakened in the final stages to finish a creditable fourth behind Voyage Bubble. Races handy and mix his form at times. Tends to prefer it dry.
Steady performer who has six wins and 13 other top three finishes from 37 starts in Hong Kong. Last win came in April in the 2024 G2 Chairman’s Trophy (1600m). Previously claimed 2022 G3 Lion Rock Trophy (1600m) and 2022 G3 Premier Cup (1400m), too. Fifth first-up in the 2024 G2 Sha Tin Trophy (1600m) before a seventh in the G3 Sa Sa Ladies’ Purse (1800m). Fifth to Voyage Bubble in the 2024 G2 BOCHK Private Wealth Jockey Club Mile (1600m) before achieving one of his best efforts at Group 1 level by finishing a gallant third behind Voyage Bubble and Soul Rush in the 2024 G1 LONGINES Hong Kong Mile (1600m). Finished seventh in the 2025 G3 Chinese Club Challenge Cup (1400m) latest. Versatile. No ground concerns.
Improved sharply last term after stepping up to a mile, winning a total of six races. Career best performances 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) last start. 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.
Crowned 2023/24 Hong Kong Champion Four-Year-Old 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 G2 BOCHK Private Wealth Jockey Club Mile (1600m) two starts back. No luck last time in 2024 G1 LONGINES Hong Kong Mile (1600m) when badly hampered in the straight from the widest of 14 barriers but as usual, he did do his best work late. Appears set to continue his upward trend. Great turn of foot and no ground concerns.
Graduate of the Hong Kong International Sale and is a model of consistency, never out of the first three in 14 career races, with an outstanding record of six wins, four seconds and four thirds. Currently career-best form, scoring back-to-back wins including the 2025 G3 Chinese Club Challenge Cup (1400m) latest to earn a 10-point rating rise. Versatile, usually races handily but also has a great turn of foot and settles well. No ground issue.
Four-time winner in 2023, each time over 1400m and once at Class 1 level. Continues to race well and was third in 2024 G1 Queen’s Silver Jubilee Cup (1400m) to California Spangle and also in the 2024 G2 Chairman’s Trophy (1600m). Second to stablemate Beauty Eternal in 2024 G1 FWD Champions Mile (1600m) last April – a career-best performance. Ran a fine fifth behind Patch Of Theta in the 2025 G3 Chinese Club Challenge Cup (1400m) latest. No ground concerns.
