Bet On The Hong Kong Cup

With a host of European horses in the field and dominating the odds markets, one of the better indicators for Sunday’s Hong Kong Cup may be the result and running form of the Group 2 Jockey Club Gold Cup, where a fast race saw Endowing, now installed as favourite for Sunday’s race, managed to hold out late charges from Akeed Mofeed and Military Attack, who were second and third respectively. History shows that horses with experience at Sha Tin usually have an advantage, and this may well play into the hands of the hometown favourites

Race favourite Endowing’s jockey Tye Angaland was happy with his horse’s preparation work on Thursday, saying ‘he’s flying under the radar but he’s really proven himself with his past two wins. He’s probably got to bring his A-game to win but he’s kept stepping up to the mark lately and he can really let down when it counts.’

One of the travelers to look out for may be French star Cirrus Des Aigles, who will be looking for success in the Hong Kong Cup at the fourth time of asking but is looking in great form leading up to the race. The seven-year-old was taken through his paces by jockey Christophe Soumillon on Thursday and trainer Corine Barande-Barbe was happy with what she had seen.

‘Every time previously something has gone wrong but don’t be fooled because I really believe he loves it here. When he went out this morning he was immediately alert and enjoying himself noticing the surroundings with which he is so familiar.’

‘Christophe said the pleasing thing was that just before breaking into his work the horse suddenly wanted to go, he didn’t have to ask him.’
