Welcome to the Cathay Pacific 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.

This information is correct as of 2nd December 2008. You may visit the International Races website at www.cxhkir.com for updates.

Speed Chart

This map shows what appear to be the preferred racing styles of these horses, but many of them are

versatile and the all-important barrier draw will affect where they will be positioned in running. There is a very short run to the first bend and jockeys on horses with bad draws may be forced to adjust their tactics.

* Full speed maps will be available after barrier draw in the SpeedPOWER Form Guide at www.hkjc.com/english/formguide/formguide.asp

Yet to face a race of this quality but does appear to be on the upgrade; untried on fast ground and last start victory was as prominent as he has been.

Handles any ground and flexible in terms of positioning.

Speed Chart

On past racing styles there is likely to be a bunch of horses just behind the leaders, but with a 700 M

straight run to the first bend and a fast pace to stretch the field, jockeys should have plenty of time to adjust their positions where necessary.

Missed the CX Mile Trial owing to fever and enters uncharted territory taking on the best at set weights; settles around midfield and suited to any surface.

Speed Chart

With no strong leader and most of these horses preferring to settle well back, a slow race tempo is

likely. There is a straight run of about 800 M to the first bend that will give jockeys plenty of time to adjust their tactics if necessary.

With a genuine leader and several on-pace horses that will be pressing up close behind, the race

tempo should be genuine, which should open the field enough to give widely drawn horses a chance to get in with cover.
