  • The Cathay Pacific Hong Kong International Races 2008 – the Turf World Championships
    Welcome to the Cathay Pacific Hong Kong International Races 2008 – The Turf World Championships. This year’s CXHKIR will welcome its largest ever number of global racing stars to Sha Tin on Sunday, 14 December. Four G1 races, worth a combined HK$62m (approx. US$8m) in stakes, have invited a record 37 international runners to join 18 of the very best from Hong Kong. Sixteen individual G1 winners are present from 11 racing jurisdictions overall. In the FORM GUIDE of each race, the PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS table provides you with a bird-eye's view of the race. This at-a-glance guide gives you a full form summary of the horses in a simple and concise table. Another handy tool is the INTERNATIONAL RATINGS CHART. In weight-for-age races like the Cathay Pacific HKIR, generally speaking, the higher a horse's rating, which is based on racing performance, the better its chance to win. A preliminary SPEED CHART has been included to assist in identifying likely positions in running. Please note that this is preliminary only and the full Speed Map will be available after barrier draw in the SpeedPOWER Form Guide on www.hkjc.com/english/formguide/formguide.asp. If you need further information and analysis, just flip over to the next section where you will find the COMPREHENSIVE PAST PERFORMANCE of the horses. Also included is the FORM ANALYSIS, which highlights the notable achievements and racing characteristics of each horse. Another feature is the RATINGS HISTORY CHART. This chart indicates the quality and consistency of a horse's previous 10 starts through a graphical illustration of the ratings achieved in these races.

Photo © Steven Cargill. wo years after Frankel’s sensational win in this classic, and twelve months after Camelot took the first leg of a popular Guineas / Derby double, comes a colt named Dawn Approach to light up the Rowley Mile Tin early May. He won the Dewhurst Stakes (G1) here last autumn and had been a firm Guineas favourite every one of the 203 days that had passed since. Unbeaten at two, Dawn Approach began his 3yo campaign in an impressive way here, scooting clear through the final furlong to win by five lengths from 150-1 outsider Glory Awaits, with the staying on Van Der Neer third and a disappointing Toronado back in fourth. The latter ran as if something was amiss, so the showdown between the Craven winner and Dawn Approach never happened, but make no mistake; it would have taken a seriously good horse to match strides with Jim Bolger’s star on this day. Without keeping a straight line at the finish, he was way too good for his rivals and won with a bit up his sleeve, clocking a good time in the process.

  • Cirrus Des Aigles Primed for King George VI & Queen Elizabeth
    Ascot Racecourse Media Release for immediate release, Wednesday, July 10, 2013 Cirrus Des Aigles primed for King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes (Sponsored by Betfair) at Ascot Corine Barande-Barbe is looking forward to seeing her stable star Cirrus Des Aigles return to Ascot for the £1-million King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes (sponsored by Betfair), the tremendous highlight of the Betfair Weekend on Saturday, July 27. The Group One mile and a half contest has 15 top horses going forward following the latest scratchings deadline on Tuesday, July 9, details of which are revealed today. Cirrus Des Aigles captured the QIPCO Champion Stakes at Ascot in October, 2011, and found only the brilliant Frankel a length and three quarters too strong in the same race last year. The seven-year-old, rated the best horse in training at the start of this year, made a belated return to action following a ligament injury in the Group One Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud on June 23, and faded to finish fifth behind Novellist, beaten four and a half lengths. He is currently Betfair Sportsbook's 5/2 second favourite for the Ascot showpiece behind St Nicholas Abbey (2/1), who went down by a neck to Cirrus Des Aigles when they took each other on in the Group One Dubai Sheema Classic at Meydan in March, 2012. Barande-Barbe, who trains in Chantilly, France, reported: "We are looking forward to bringing Cirrus Des Aigles over to Ascot again. "We gave him a precautionary entry in the Grand Prix de Vichy on July 17 in case I wanted to give him a prep-run but it is a bit too near the King George and a bit too far from my stables.
