- Only in Japan. Great to see Contrail bow out a deserving winner in the Japan Cup but these scenes sum up the love Yahagi has for his horseTrainer Yoshito Yahagi rode CONTRAIL into Contrail's Retirement Ceremony at Tokyo Racecourse!
- After tonight’s Beauty Generation “team” meeting, the odds have shortened dramatically for a trip to the Yasuda Kinen in Japan. If a few minor details can be arranged it’s going to happen. The fans want it, the owner wants it, racing wants it
- Could she be the next Almond Eye 🔥
00:00 - Hey @TomBiddington, instead of making up gossip pick up the phone and make a call. I actually helped Joao out with the evidence I gave so he wouldn’t be suspended. And for the record, the stewards got this call right. Maybe an amendment in tomorrow’s paper...
- With Artorius not running in the TJ, I’ve switched over to Giga KickGood luck, boys! 🙌 Currie, Chau and Purton permitted to ride overseas. #HKracing Read here 👉 racingnews.hkjc.com/english/2023/0…
- Plenty of people are excited but none more so than me, how good is this years Japan Cup. The undisputed darling and queen of recent years, Almond Eye goes up against the unbeaten duo in Contrail & Daring Tact. Huge, huge, huge edition of the race #japancup
- Always great catching up with @joefujii1「前に馬を置いて理想とするポジションは取れましたが、直線では末脚を活かす事ができませんでした。以前のドバイと同じで左回りは合わないかも」とパートン騎手。 レースの話の他には、オーストラリア時代の質問なども聞きました。 彼の馬への「ハマり」が本当に好きです。 #パートン
- A nice shout out fellas. I’m definitely in but I’m currently suspended that day, can you lobby the @HKJC_Racing to make an exception for this momentous occasion. #forthefansThe punters want @zpurton or João Moreira to ride Beersy in her farewell next Saturday. Ball's in your court now, @HKJC_Racing 👀
- The horrific injuries to Maija Vance one again illustrate how dangerous our job is. The poor girl had 6 broken teeth, nearly bit her tongue off, a black eye, two punctured lungs full of blood and 5 breaks in her spine resulting in spinal cord damage. She may never walk again.
- Currently 7 degrees at Sha Tin and raining, feels like Antartica 🥶. With a top of 8 predicted and showers all day it’s going to be brutal for the big G1 double header. How will the track play? Will Golden Sixty bounce back in the ice?
- He’s special #incentiviseINCENTIVISE IS A SUPERSTAR! ⭐ IT'S A DEMOLITION JOB IN THE 2021 CAULFIELD CUP! 🏆
00:00 - Don’t be fooled by Joao’s comments. He’s still 2 wins in front, can ride the minimum of 113 pounds, has the support of our leading trainer in Size, he’s had 40 more rides than me and ridden 34 more favorites than me this season. He’s also got supportReplying to @SCMPRacingPost
