Owner Dr Cornel Li Fook Kwan and Able One Photographers and Fans wait for Able One to return to winner’s circle Hong Kong Jockey Club Hong Kong Jockey Club Dear Fellow Breeder: As we are all aware, the advantage to breeding and owning New York-breds is one of the most exciting opportunities in our business today.

With purses, breeder and owner incentives projected to be worth over $60 million, and the number of registered New York-breds at an all time low, participation in the program deserves consideration from all breeders.

However, the availability of quality farms and facilities in the state has been reduced over the past several years.

For 25 years, Denali Stud has been known for quality and attention to detail in Kentucky. We are now bringing that experience and horsemanship to New York in partnership with Edition Farm, a quality, showplace facility with an excellent staff and management team.

It’s a perfect alliance; Edition Farm has been New York’s breeder of the year twice in the past five years alone, including last year, and Denali has been a leading consignor at the New York-bred sale in Saratoga for many years. Denali will bring its horsemanship, marketing and sales expertise to complement the staff and facilities at Edition Farm.

We are excited about the opportunity and the possibilities this will present for quality breeders looking to breed New York-breds.

There are several ways to breed a registered New York-bred, but all involve some component of residency in New York. You may:

Whichever way you choose to take advantage of the exciting opportunities New York offers, we are here to help you. www.denalistud.com (859) 987-6212 But the Denali/Edition alliance provides this attractive opportunity for a selected number of quality mares, so don’t delay.

CATHAY PACIFIC HONG KONG SPRINT-G1 result cont. , who endured a couple of very tough beats in Japan in September and October, returned here from a two-month freshening and took a three-way photo for a career best. Conqueror of Xtension (Ire) (Xaar {GB}) in the Hong Kong Classic Mile last January, the 4-year-old runner-up to Ambitious Dragon (NZ) (Pins {Aus}) in the Hong Kong Classic Cup and was beaten just a half-length by Xtension in the G1 Apr. 25 before taking a breather. While the majority of Hong Kong horses will do their preparations for this meeting at home, Lucky Nine was sent to Japan, and was assigned 130 pounds and asked to concede weight for the G2 Centaur S. Sept. 11, ultimately going down by just a head. He was making a potentially winning bid in the G1 Sprinters= S. Oct. 2 at Nakayama, but was blocked behind Pas de Trois (Jpn) (Swept Overboard) and ended up fifth. Freshened for this, Lucky Nine was bet into second favoritism and came through for his backers. After a slight hop at the start, the Irish-bred raced slightly behind midfield, as G1 Golden Jubilee S. winner Bated Breath (GB) (Dansili {GB}), Rocket Man (Aus) (Viscount {Aus}) and Pas de Trois knocked heads up front. Carried a bit wide into the lane by Joy and Fun, Lucky Nine joined that foe and the rail-skimming Entrapment for a scintillating finish. The trio was on more or less even terms passing the 100-meter mark, and Lucky Nine wore down his dead-heating rivals in the waning strides. AThere was always going to be speed with Rocket Man drawn wide,@ winning rider Brett Prebble explained. AHe missed the kick slightly and I was on the back foot from the start. Joy And Fun took me a bit wide on the turn but this horse is all heart, and 100% credit to [trainer] Caspar [Fownes]--he couldn=t have had him any better.@ Favored Little Bridge (NZ) (Faltaat) had a beautiful trip behind the leaders, was in a bit of a box in the straight, and stayed on for fourth.

Joie de Vivre had made only one previous start before the race. She won a 1600-meter turf maiden by 1 1/2 lengths as the favorite at Kyoto Nov. 12, and was sent off the fourth choice in the betting making the big step up in class here. Breaking from the 13 hole, Joie de Vivre settled nicely under Yuichi Fukunaga and raced along in mid-division as Fine Choice (Jpn) (Admire Moon {Jpn}) led. The pink-blinkered head of Fine Choice continued to show the way as they made the right-hand turn into the stretch, but as that one began to falter 200 meters out, a number of rivals were in with a chance.
