Follow Hong Kong racing’s Rising Stars at the Hong Kong Jockey Club’s theme site (Website: http://campaign.hkjc.com/en/rising-star/index.aspx) and enjoy the thrill of charting their progress to see which will emerge as serious players in the upcoming 4-Y-O Classic Series.

The HK$10 million Hong Kong Classic Mile on Sunday, 21 January is the first of three prestigious races that form the once-in-a-lifetime 4-Y-O Classic Series, which also features February’s HK$10 million Hong Kong Classic Cup (1800m) and the HK$18 million BMW Hong Kong Derby (2000m) in March.

The updated Rising Stars roll-call ranks Exultant, Lockheed, Ruthven, The Golden Age, Good Standing and Rattan among the best of Hong Kong’s emerging talents. Each has already shown that they have the potential to make an impact on this year’s Classic Series.

Those already in the list, such as Hot King Prawn, Nothingilikemore and Fifty Fifty have thrilled racing fans this term. Hot King Prawn remains unbeaten after scoring a hat-trick of sprint wins since September, while the ascendant miler Fifty Fifty impressed again when landing the G3 Chinese Club Challenge Cup last week. Hong Kong’s top-rated four-year-old Nothingilikemore appears set for a shot at the Hong Kong Classic Mile, a race that has been won in recent years by elite gallopers such as Able Friend, Lucky Nine, Rapper Dragon and Beauty Only.

The Rising Star theme site offers latest information and news to help fans chart the progress of their favourite young stars as they race towards the 4-Y-O Classic Series and beyond.
