      Rapper Dragon continued his winning run  with a victory in the G2 Chairman’s Trophy 1600m. A performance that had Joao Moreira proclaiming the four-year-old Hong Kong’s best thoroughbred. “Now I’m convinced that he’s the best horse in town,” the champion jockey said after guiding the Street Boss gelding to a fourth straight win. Rapper Dragon is by Street Boss out of a Danehill Dancer mare. Street Boss is a Darley stallion sprouted as the fastest stallion of Street Cry.   John Moore’s latest stable star swept aside his peers in last month’s BMW Hong Kong Derby 2000m to become the first horse to complete a sweep of Hong Kong’s Four-Year-Old Classic Series.

Mr Stunning is an Exceed and Excel gelding sold at the NZB Premier Sale and bred by Lyndhurst Farm.

   The Redoutes Choice filly Gold Luck is from his first progeny of northern hemisphere horses. Keep an eye out for more to come. If ever a horse were bred for the classics, it would be Gold Luck. A daughter of Australian leading sire and classic winner Redoute's Choice. The Prix Vanteaux G3, a nine-furlong trip for 3-year-old fillies,saw a well-bred field of nine go to the start. Gold Luck fell in by a short head. Good Luck is a half sister, to Wertheimers champion Goldikova,  being from the Blushing Groom mare Born Gold and also to the group one winner Galikova.
