Hong Kong -- The new Hong Kong Racing season started at Shatin on Sunday and Legendary jockey Joao Moreira, was on fire as he rode the first five winners on the card with the Captain Sonador gelding, Seasons Bloom in the Chief Executives Cup over 1200m being the most promising of his rides. Moreira believes the gelding is still improving and after finishing runner up to Rapper Dragon last season, can become, Hong Kongs number one galloper.
The Arc, Enable and the Frankel Colts -- Cracksmen and Eminent are both from Frankel's first crop and are making an impact on the European racing scene. Eminent is out of the King Mambo mare You'll Be Mine. This gives her Mr Prospector blood as well as a strong Saddlers Wells influence. This guy should swim. Cracksman has a good bit of Danzig in his blood so probably not as much swimming for him. He has run third in the Epsom Derby and last weekend won the Great Voltigeur Stakes at York. His next start will most likely be in the Prix Niel at Chantilly before a crack at the Arc. Eminent's trainer Martyn Meade has confirmed that he is definately going to take on Enable in the Arc. Enable looks a daunting prospect after her dominant performances in the King George V1 and Queen Elizabeth Stakes and last start Yorkshire Oaks victory but Meade says we have to have a shot, he is a quality horse.
