Default The HSBC Premier Sha Tin Vase

Always nice to see members of the old guard entered together.....

Regency Horse is due for a big win this year but ouch..... probably not with Coetzee up.

Brett sticks with Medic Power who began the season with a mere 52 and now is at 105. Interesting.

Sacred Kingdom has had a quick rise to Class 1 status as well.

Lots of buzz about the Birdie.

Another jockey for Able? Hmmm.....

Good luck to the boys some might say have lost a step. Billet had an awesome barrier trial recently, hard not to cheer for Blitz and the Ruler even if, even if.....

Come home safe, gentlemen. Show the young ones you still have it.

No comment on Tony Cruz entering four. Figures.....

Is there any reason why Country Music sticks out to me here........ i don't think i know anything about him.

Certainly don't know anything about the others.

Well, i will go for him because his name stands out for some reason.

I remeber backing Natural Blitz to win a fortune 2 years ago in the HK Sprint and had a big bet on Country Music to place. He was 4th beaten a short head for third.. I believe the top 4 finishers from that 2005 race are racing here.. Also Absolute Champion was back in 7th behind Benbaun!!

Absolute Champion looks like a bit of a machine......... he should be difficult to beat shouldn't he?

He won a 6 furlong Gr1 by over 4 lengths....... now that takes some doing

The changing of the guard..... newer kids looking good and in record time.

Medic Power and Brett be-still-my-heart- Prebble won, followed by Green Birdie.

Replay, full results....

As an aside, Green Birdie was once 2nd to Miss Andretti.

Cheers to the old guys anyway. Gotta love them.

Billet behaved this time..... what's wrong with this picture?
