Hong Kong's biggest meet of the year today and there is some great horses in some quality races around.

unsure what to make of the big takeover target controversy, think i might leave that race alone

should be good to see how aussie jocks craig williams, hugh bowman, danny nikolic etc go, and i will also be watching Growl with interest in the HK Cup

i've gotta say those hong kong form resources are just amazing, they give you very detailed form guides, sectional times, speed ratings and speed maps for all races, trackwork guides, in depth statistics on horses, trainers jockeys etc its all fantastic. for all this infor go to http://www.hkjc.com/english/racing/startersr1_e.asp and click Easy Form in the box on the right next to the track map and then 'enter easy form' or 'highlights' at the top right

good luck

I've raved on before about the HKJC form service and they give it free.
Something as comprehensive here [if it ever where to exist] would cost $200 a month to access!

So is Takeover Target running or is he still high on steroids and under a ban from starting?

The TAB has scratchings in other races but still has Takeover Target as a starter. Very interested to hear if anyone has heard wether its a yes or no?

Just went to HKJC website to read the form on the race and Takeover Target is not even listed. I take it that means its all over red rover!

Shattering. Now they have no choice but to attack Australia again next autumn and spring, Can't wait-I'll be there to see him!

Well Done with Race 3 there Chuck

TO/Target is still as high as a kite on the 'go fast' juice and is scratched. I always wondered why a $1200 horse ran so well. Now I know, it's on the same stuff the handbrake spikes my coffee with!

Sunny Sing and She is Tosho for an exacta for me

After posting this I had a closer look at times and noticed Absolute Champion's times and bet on the nose.
I only mention it as it broke a very painfully long losing streak!
I feel a little Inspiration coming on!
(The Fruit and Veg was so painful, I got Scenic SHot at second and Daka's gem at third and my nemisis Niconero stuck his boof head in coz I didnt back it and stuffed me up!)
