Land Afar

Too early for me!
Last Sunday I recorded the Honk Kong racing and watched it back at lunchtime (avoided the results) ..... fast forward between races to condense it down to an hour or 90 minutes .... that was quite enjoyable though I didnt have a single winner ..... 
 
 

Sorry, misunderstood ..my apologies..
Far better Sunday, Aethero is a class sprinter slightly odds on at present in the sprint cup on the biases of a bad run last time out. on the day it will be interesting to see if the late money in HK goes for him.  Waikaku is also a class act, possible nice double, but Beauty generation was the top horse in HK last year but has not hit form this season, should be a good race in the Chairman's Trophy...as I always say I dont tip...but for some reason I do fancy Fat Turtle for a place, tends to set the pace. Last week in the HK Derby a front running  80/1 shot only just done on the line..very tactical at times there. Thus the finishes are amazing..
Has anyone considered a temporary dedicated thread for HK racing? Im sure after all this it will become very popular as a betting proposition, mainly due to its UK heritage and honesty..

Blimy this has filled up quick, please add me to the draw if allowed..cheers

Mr Trotter, thats the training track in Shenzen China, its quite new and as far as I know used mainly for trialing.
The Mainland Chinese Government are looking into allowing racing but...I dont see it being a betting option in the new few years..
Stick with Happy Valley and Sha Tin, you will enjoy..Next Sunday theres a couple of G1's at Sha Tin..Ante Post prices are available with some UK sites.. 
 
Happy Punting..
The other track referred to on the fixture list link is Conghua 
 

With respect to the Hong Kong racing, there are only the two tracks, Happy Valley and Sha Tin. There is a training track in China where some horses are stabled from time to time. The post upthread may be referring to the track at Macau, which is run by a different group and generally poor quality racing.
The season runs from Sept to June, typically Happy Valley is Wednesday nights and Sha Tin Sunday afternoons (although on a few occasions these are changed ie this Wednesday nights meeting on the dirt at Sha Tin).
Horses are brought in from around the world and most of the time they are renamed by the new owners..
Its a very well run system horses are weighed for the declaration stage (unlike the UK).
The overseas pundits are excellent in giving valid information. Jenny's longshot today won at 16/1...(How Jo Moreira was on a 16/1 shot  god knows as he rode 4 winners there today in the previous races bring his total to 901 in 7 years). Prior to him riding in Hong Kong, he was racing in Singapore, and had a similar level or winners.
Its easy to understand, for me in the UK, for backing favorites I take the UK price, all others where possible I use the Aussie tote systems, prices tend to be bigger. One can bet place only if required..
When i was working in Asia, it was great to go out for some decent day/night racing there. Totally recommend it to anyone...
Hope this helps....enjoy
