Racing at Sha Tin on sunday morning

If Aethero jumps out on terms in the Chairman's Sprint then he will take some catching, quirky and can blow the start is the catch but has a great draw. In the Champions Mile Waikuku had beaten Sundays fav Beauty Generation four times on the trot over this distance but ran no race last time when well behind but maybe the value for revenge at 3/1 ish.

It would take a bit of a leap of faith to back Aethero on the evidence of his last run, however stunning some of the earlier wins were.

burkeys your best bet, good friends with Jocelyn Siu Ying Hin Ting - owns waikuku.  both good friends with Cho Mandy (Miss Hong Kong 2003) who allegedly let Marty pump her because she 'loved his accent' ..

Just hope he don’t blow it by sending her love letters first.

Couldn't agree more Cauthenmeister, they did have excuses for that first run of the season, this taken from the Hong Kong Jockey Club:

AETHERO (C336) began only fairly, then was checked when crowded for room. Passing the 900M shifted in away from a runner and was awkwardly placed close to heels. Then got its head up when being checked away from heels. After that got its head up for some distance when travelling keenly and awkwardly placed. Near the 550M bumped a runner when improving to the outside of another runner. When questioned regarding the disappointing performance, rider stated that as it did at its first up run that season his mount did not begin well which resulted in it being in a position to be crowded for room. He said the manner in which his mount began together with the crowding resulted in it having to race behind runners and when in that position it did not settle and got its head up for a considerable distance after the 900M due to its own racing manners and also being crowded for room. He said that was similar to the manner in which his mount reacted when behind runners at its first up run that season. He said his mount never travelled comfortably and also did not seem to appreciate the loose surface which had been cut up by earlier races. He said he placed his mount under heavy pressure after the 400M, however, it did not respond and gave ground noticeably over the latter stages. He added having regard to the manner in which the horse began and raced and the similarities between the race and its first up race that season, he was of the opinion that his mount may derive benefit from its first up run. Post-race vet inspection did not show any significant findings, however, the horse was unable to be scoped due to being fractious - Race 551.

I've emailed betfair and asked for the Sha Tin markets to be put up for tomorrow morning, not hopeful though.

Well done,TT.

daq will cover it, betfair usually say they can't

yes, you'll need to head to purple.  watch out for the tumbleweed.

been plenty of cash there all other hk meetings

most of it's unrealistic, better than nothing (ie here).  no in-running if that's your thing and be aware the races close bang on post time.  no matter where the horses are.

Not listed on the purple site either.

it will go up later

Any picture? If so, where plz?

Thanks. Just placed a bet on Waikuku (9am).

The Hong Kong Jockey Club do a free app for watching all of the racing live, you can get a download of the app at:

Betfair will not be covering the meeting at Sha Tin:

Hi there, I just wanted to let you know that unfortunately, we will not be offering your request on the Exchange due to restrictions beyond our control. Apologies for any inconvenience caused   

'Tiger Tiger', thanks.

Having spent my life resolutely ignoring all racing east of Strasbourg and west of Killarney, I admit to having enjoyed gambling on the racing in Hong Kong this month. New punters need to beware that in races of a mile or less, missing the break cannot be overcome. Tomorrow's meeting looks a cracker.

0750 Sprint: This is far more open than the betting would suggest. Eight of the eleven runners met three weeks ago over C+D and two lengths covered the first five home. Tips: 3 Mr. Stunning, 4 Full Of Beauty

0900 Mile: Beauty Generation is a warm favourite but is not invincible. Tips: 1 Beauty Generation, 5 Southern Legend 

0940 QEII: This is a weak race for the money.  Tips: 2 Time Warp, 6 Playa del Puente

Good luck, everyone

That's good, wasn't there early doors.

Got a few fancies. I'll post later when finalised. Scratch them off your shortlists!

no complaints on prize money out there

the purton / moreira show usually

Right here we go.

5:45 Charge On.
7:50 Hot King Prawn.
8:25 Wellington.
9:00 Waikuku.
9:40 Exultant.

you deserve to win just for the username

went to have my first bet in 5 weeks at sha tin, and sportsbook max stake 50p or 30p.

Take the 50p Ash...

Sportsbook is a waste of time.

Aethero 2/1 yesterday, as short as 5/4 now, fingers crossed that's a good sign.

Looking forward to that one Tiger, needs to get to the front from the off I would think.

I presume that HK Direct at 10.15 on Sky will beva preview of tomorrow's group races.

It's starting to look like there will three shorties, with some other skinny prices on the supporting card. If awake in time I will try to start with the 7.15 but there isn't an obvious pace angle.

Gone for Hall Of Champ.

DB Pin to place for me, in the expectation they go quick as he has been closing in recent races.

I like Voyage Warrior, looks the part and could be improving.

Morning all, cant believe the fav is odds on at purple, glad I got the 2/1 a couple of days ago. Good luck whatever you are on.

i'm with driver, voyage w&p

Fav stuffed, well done anyone getting that one!

1.6 stone last.

Streaming link for those that can't watch it on TV

The app is the best place to watch it Andrew, its free from the HKJC. Very little lag.

something amiss with the fav, out like a light.  hopefully not too serious.

Fav bled

Many thanks Tiger and good luck.

2/5 in a hcp, couldn't have me.

that was the e/w bet of the year ?

Well done Li with Mr Stunning in the 7.50, cracking winner, round about 28 at the off on purple.

Said I'd have a look at this champions day after reading about it.Two long odds on favourites not even placed. Absolute muppets who follow this rubbish racing. The tipsters picking first two favourites in one race,saying sit back and relax.Neiter placed.Experts on the forum within a few minutes able to tell you the horse bled. English version of Chester races is all this is. Champions day for muppet punters in UK

excuses for the first one, not sure what was going on in that last one.  cantered round, jockey said go .... absolutely nothing, think it went slower.

The first one was backed as if defeat was out of the question. There's no excuse

you must be making fortunes laying then?

Bankruptus in extremus.

Going for the classic generation with More Than This, let's hope the upsets keep coming.

Bit of a money for that one, was 9.8 earlier.

They're all tipping the fav again. I'm not betting today, but if I was, More than this is the right age to be an improver and looks the EW bet

snap

like more than this also, can't have waikuku after last time ...

Souhern Legend beat Bright Generation (apparently) in a photo.

Great battle at the front, my one ran no kind of race.

Cauthenmeister, the slow pace didn't help and he might have made the frame if the jock had followed Waikuku through on the inside.

Thank you Mr Li

I'll bet there's a few punters glad that the racing was behind closed doors today. Another odds on fav coming up

Plus this Mr Li

0900 Mile: Beauty Generation is a warm favourite but is not invincible. Tips: 1 Beauty Generation, 5 Southern Legend

A deserved win for Southern Legend who was behind Waikuku (early on), and just out-battled Beauty Generation at the finish; Beauty Generation had the box seat and every chance; Waikuku made good headway but was tenderly handled at the 1f pole when he was never going to win to hold on to 3rd place.

Well done backers of Southern Legend.

Thanks, Tiger Tiger and Eborman. Haven't won a bean but have each way trebles going on to my selections in the  next. Everything crossed.

Following the excellent Mr Li with Playa Del Puente.

Most of the pundits opposing the fav this time. Get on, lol

playa for me at 15's, must be due a fav though

True Legend and Southern Legend both won at 25/1 on Sportinglife, but were only 205/10 and 97/10 respectively with Racing Post - a massive discrepancy.

Exultant thw winner at 1/2 in the QEII Cup.

Where do those sp's come from? The RP results reflect the Pari Mutuel prices

Just sent Andrew a screenshot of his selections for the 10.15 at Sha Tin.

1st Gold Chest
2nd 4  Computer Patch
3rd 12  Transcendant
4th  2  Yee Cheong Baby

It was a screenshot of the Sha Tin version of him's selections, taken from the site he put up.

Joe beat the French Oisin Murphy and Zac

Computer patch, glorious spec and gold chest

True Legend and Southern Legend are 12/1 and 16/1 respectively with 'billies'. It's a lottery out there. I cannot find the results page for betfair.

thanks .

Thank you for the earlier posts, i didn't play in the last race and can only get buttons on with Sportsbook anyway. What a pathetic outfit they are, but they actually did me a favour with their restrictions. Their loss !

I will reply to your email this evening, it's a sunny 20c on my balcony

No good this morning, bit of a shocker. Got Tampa tonight so we go again.

Today's Group Race fancies:
0700 #6 Jolly Banner #1 Hot King Prawn
0905 #3 Time Warp #7 Savvy Nine

Interested to see how furore does at 12f now.

Then I’m going back to bed...

Hong Kong stuff never been covered on the Exchange since 1066, so why do ATR bother pouring resources into this,
may just as well show Virtual racing, who cares ?
Even cut the Australian live coverage from 5.30 am this morning to go East, bloody mismanagement of the highest order.
Think they must be patronising the Chinese or some other agenda.
