“He is a very, very good horse. A very high-quality horse and he’s got a big future.
“We’ll just see what the handicapping department gives him and see how he pulls up. There’s a couple more races left for him before the season’s out, but we’re looking forward to good things from him in the future. He’s a nice horse.” Boosting hopes of a successful Hong Kong trainers’ championship defence, Frankie Lor posted a treble to close within four wins of 11-time champion John Size in a tightening battle for overall honours.
Slotting a third treble from the past eight Sha Tin meetings, Lor figured with Hava Nageela, Everyone’s Victory and Youthful Deal. With 48 wins after 64 of 88 meetings, Lor has edged in front of Ricky Yiu to be within striking range of Size . “Today the horses are all in good form and they all put in a good performance,” said Lor. “I’m just trying to stay close. My old boss is a champion and hard to beat, but I’ll always try.” – HKJC
