HK International Jockeys Challenge Night

Tuesday, 3 December 2024 by Gavin Haynes

With all the mouth watering  G1 action of International day ahead of us Sunday we wet our appetite with International jockeys challenge night tomorrow night and what a line up of talented horse men we have, of the 4 HK hoops only one is a local and that's Vinnie Ho, currently 3rd on the Premiership with 20 wins at 12%, Aussies Zac Purton and Hugh Bowman sit one 2 with ZP 20 wins clear on 44 at a staggering 23%, HB has 24 wins at 15%. The other representing HK is Karis Teetan, a Mauritian who gained his notoriety  in South Africa, he is 4th on the table with 15 wins at 9%. James McDonald whom you can tell is the next heir apparent for HK has been really testing the waters there this season having had 40 rides for 7 wins at an ultra impressive 18%.  I mean if you were one of the best hoops in the world why would you want to ride in HK, 2 meetings a week, 6 weeks off a ...

Once In A Lifetime Offer

Saturday, 23 November 2024 by Gavin Haynes

Are you a little disillusioned with Oz racing?

The sheer volume of race meetings these days has made keeping up with form a massive job combine and lining up form lines becomes harder and harder as new tracks and grades are continuedly added. Im sure just to keep the punter from getting any sort of edge. That with the fact that Australian racing is really a National Calendar  these day means you have to keep an eye on everything, something I saw coming 25 years ago and why having a system of ratings that covers the lot  invaluable.

Have you tried betting into those huge STab World pools at every HK meeting, 3000 horses, 30 hoops, 3 tracks, full race and trial videos free online at the HKJC and I create Speed Weight and Sectional ratings for all runs

I have a one off offer that I have never done before but first I want you to read something

Unique Insight's

Saturday, 19 October 2024 by Gavin Haynes

There is no other form provider supplying the depth of data we do, we have traditional  Weight Ratings and Speed ratings which tell us who is running times faster than average for their class, once they get to town we get a sectional rating, where a horses last 400m is taken into account creating an artificial time that can be used to create a rating. If the Sectional Rating (XR) is higher than the Speed Rating (SR) we know the horse was strong through the line, if it is lower we know it came home slower than it went out. Not such a concern with leaders but for horses rising in trip its vital information. We also have a TOF (Turn of Foot0  rating which is a numerical indication of how many lengths  faster or slower. Runners with +6 and greater have been strong through the line. We have only had this feature for 18 months or so now and I ...

HK Kick Off Sunday

Monday, 2 September 2024 by Gavin Haynes

Hong Kong Is Back

The new season beckons and we kick off this Sunday the 8th with an all turf meeting at Shatin where the hihlight is a C1, all in all we tread quite cautiously into new season with all runners resuming , it takes a few weeks for the flow to appear but thats not to say we dont find plenty of winners we just need be a little more patient.

Its only 5 weeks later we have the first G2 of the season so it does build quickly

As I have stated for some time the $7 Plandemic pricing is over and HK only will be $14 a week as of this season and at that is well worth every penny, mind you with Jason now doing NZ and HK back on deck you really are best tp spend $330 a 1/4 and get the Platinum subscription

The HK only package is 45 weeks and gives you full form expert comment, speed weight and sectional ratings for all runs, rated prices, speed maps, odds ...

Rebel's Romance

Sunday, 26 May 2024 by Gavin Haynes

We get to see one of the world's best today!

We get to see one of the worlds best in Rebels Romance. he is $1.40 in G1 company today and that speaks volumes on how good people think he is

1. REBEL'S ROMANCE: Scored a remarkable win in the G1 Dubai Sheema Classic (2410m) in March, defeating quality opposition from all around the world to earn an international rating of 123 and rank second in the LONGINES World's Best Racehorse Rankings. Displayed class when crushing his rivals at Doha in the G3 H.H. The Amir Trophy (2400m) in February as Russian Emperor finished fifth in the same race. Superb horse with 12 wins from eighteen starts, who is accustomed to travelling abroad, having won the 2022 G1 Breeders' Cup Turf (2400m) in the United States of America and 2022 G1 Grosser Preis von Berlin (2400m) and 2022 G1 Preis von Europa ...

Happy Valley preview

Wednesday, 22 May 2024 by Gavin Haynes

We found the winner in the top 3 in 8 of the 10 races on Sunday, in the other 2 our 1 x 3 play Joy Of Spring ran 2nd at $4.3 and the $12 rated Strathpeter won at $17. The 3 Gold Miners i sent out Sunday morning all found the podium in another nice days punting in HK. We kick off with a lowly C5 over ground so very cautious from the get go. All in all another good day in the office

There is nothing screaming back me tonight so no best bet

HK Preview

Sunday, 19 May 2024 by Gavin Haynes

Is the 1800m just what the Doctor ordered for Joy Of Spring. 

Its a cracking days racing ahead at Shatin and here how I think it plays out. 

Best Bets

Race 2 sees the first strong play with 10. HAPPY FOR ALL: Forgive last start on that Soft track, there were plenty of odd results that day, go on his 2nd with the XR 94 this T&D 2 back. On that he is a lovely 1 x 3 play at the $4.70. That is followed by an interesting contest in Race 4 where a few progressive types take to the track again. 

 I am looking forward to the next run of 1. LUCY IN THE SKY: Was a nice overlay result for us last start, overcoming trouble at the start before recording 101/101, that was ...

Shatin G1 Review

Monday, 29 April 2024 by Gavin Haynes

We had a yeilding track on Sunday and its really quite off in HK, the surface is like carpet and the Daily Variant was only 100.5, thats still a Good track in Oz, in the 10 years I have been doing it I have never seen a track what we would call rain affected. When you consider NZ often has tracks with DV's 110, or 10% slower than average, yet when the rain comes results are always mixed.

Romantic Warrior was huge, never on the track, never looked comfortable but still pulled out 116/112 from the Japanese runner Prognosis 115/109, he is an absolute super star.

Rosehill Tancred Day Review

Thursday, 4 April 2024 by Gavin Haynes

The Kiwi star now has the Oaks well within her sights

The first race to look at is R2 the G3 Neville Selwood at 2000m and here our $2.30 rated top pick was 103 horse Serpentine and he was off the canvas showing all the Waterhouse M&B to win rating 102/102 He held off Fav Zeyrek whom we dodged rating him $6.10, we had him a 100 horse going in and got 100/102. There is a race for him soon. They had 2 lengths on 3rd placed Renaissance Woman who rated 93/98 as we found the First 4 in our top 4. 

R3 was the G3 Baillieu for the 2yo's and top pick Linebacker whose SR 90 on debut was 8 better than standard who showed tenacity ...

Gold Miners feasting - Zardozi

Saturday, 16 March 2024 by Gavin Haynes

Its been a Gold Mining fill up on Saturday but Oaks winner was a huge result, rated 2nd pick at $3.90 she was way too good at a staggering $11

"Oaks winner ZARDOZZI didn't fire a shot first up but strips fitter is suited by step up in trip and although will be ready to peak next time out but does have 98/102 in a G2 mile win on her way to that Oaks success."

That was on the back of the $3.30 ...

Can G1 superstar Romantic Warrior  do it again

I think there are only 2 that have claims to beat him

ROMANTIC WARRIOR comes off a 77 day break after a big win this T&D on International day that made it 12 wins from 17 5 of those at the highest level. He has won 2 of 3 fresh with his only fresh miss being that 4th on Oz debut before that big Cox Plate win. That gate is no spoil and champions have a way of overcoming the odds but the $1.70 is too short for mine.

VOYAGE BUBBLE was smashed into odds on last start before grabbing his Maiden G1 at mile with 111/115 outstanding and franked by an XR 115 the run prior. He steps to 2000m a ...

Shatin Sunday Play Of The Day

Sunday, 15 October 2023 by Gavin Haynes

Sha Tin Race 7

I think this market is on its head. The resuming CALIFORNIA SPANGLE is quintuple confirmed XR 110 horse last time in and is yet to miss the Quinella in 3 fresh runs winning twice and has found the podium in 7 of 9 at the mile. He is $4.40 somehow and a 1 x 3 Gold Miner at that. The 2's on Fav is BEAUTY ETERNAL who also resumes a genuine good horse a 107 horse every day of the week and does have 1 huge XR of 119. at the mile. unbeaten fresh and at trip. but $1.60 really... STRAIGHT ARRON is a high-class stayer who should need one. CIRCUIT STELLAR continues to run through the line, he has a ...
