Welcome to the 2016 Champions Mile and Chairman’s Sprint Prize to be held on Sunday 1st May. International heavyweights Maurice, Chautauqua, Buffering and Mongolian Saturday will head to Sha Tin Racecourse to challenge Hong Kong’s star milers and crack sprinters in an exciting Group 1 double header. The HK$14 million Champions Mile is ranked in the world’s top 25 races and is an established international feature, while the HK$10 million Chairman’s Sprint Prize, the fourth leg of the Global Sprint Challenge, is a new addition to the elite G1 roster. In the FORM GUIDE, 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 Champions Mile and Chairman’s Sprint Prize, 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. This information is correct as of 18th April 2016.

One of the Top 100 G1 races in the world, the race’s prize money stands at HK$14 million. Since the race opened to overseas contenders in 2005, local runners have won ten of the past 11 renewals and dominated every running until 2014 when dual South African Horse of the Year Variety Club broke their stranglehold with his emphatic display at Sha Tin.

    Race History Record Dividends

    FWD Champions Mile (Group 1) – 1600m – Turf – Right-handed Course Race History The FWD Champions Mile is the only one of Hong Kong’s 12 Group 1 contests to have been established after the turn of the millennium. That first edition came in 2001 and carried a purse of HK$4.6 million. The race was initially a HKG1 contest, designed as a finale for Hong Kong’s star milers, and it was the Brian Kan-trained Red Pepper that scored under Eric Legrix. International runners were first welcomed in 2005 when the prize money rose to HK$8 million. In a classic clash of the titans, Bullish Luck edged his great stablemate Silent Witness. That result ended the latter’s unbeaten streak that had stretched through 17 races. Bullish Luck became the first two-time winner when he followed-up in 2006. The Champions Mile attained international G1 status in 2007 and Able One took the spoils, the first of eight wins for the race’s most successful trainer John Moore. The Moore-trained galloper triumphed again in 2010, by which time the race was worth HK$12 million (increased in 2009). Moore rattled off six more wins with Xtension (2011 & 2012), Dan Excel (2013), the great champion Able Friend (2015) and two-time Horse of the Year Beauty Generation (2018 & 2019). The Caspar Fownes-trained Southern Legend denied Beauty Generation a record three-peat in this race last year, with his rider Vincent Ho also notching a first career G1. The race’s total prize money was increased to the current level of HK$20 million in 2020.

Formerly called the World Super Jockeys Series since its establishment in 1987, it has welcomed more than 200 top-caliber jockeys from Europe, North America, Oceania and Asia and held over two days in late November or early December at either Tokyo or Hanshin Racecourse. The event was given a new title, and was moved to the last weekend of August and to Sapporo Racecourse in northern Japan last year. This year’s event welcomes six outstanding jockeys from France, the United States, Hong Kong, United Kingdom, Australia and Canada in joining one NAR (National Association of Racing; local public racing) jockey and seven JRA jockeys in their bid for the title. A team competition has been added to the regular individual contest beginning last year, in which the overseas and NAR jockeys will form “Team WAS (World All-Star)” and compete against “Team JRA” to attain the most points as a team.

Each race will carry a $500,000 purse--the Arkansas Derby was originally scheduled to be held Apr. 11 and worth $750,000. ABecause of our national crisis, we and the entire world of sports are in uncharted waters requiring unprecedented actions,@ said Oaklawn President Louis Cella. AWe=re trying to make the best of a very, very difficult situation. On the one hand, it is the worst of times to be racing without fans in our grandstand.

Stradivarius winning on Champions Day last year | Racing Post Cont. p6 By Tom Frary Ascot=s preparation for the latest QIPCO British Champions Day has proven particularly difficult in light of the frequent deluges, but on Saturday all that will fade into memory as the amassed throng anticipate five division clashes from six furlongs to almost two miles.
