Winners of the last two legs of the Four-Year-Old Classic Series, namely Singapore Sling (Hong Kong Classic Cup) and Ping Hai Star (BMW Hong Kong Derby) have been added to the Rising Star list. The updated Rising Star roll-call also includes four-year-old speedster Ivictory, and together with those already in the list such as Conte, Beat The Clock, Nothingilikemore, Exultant, Ruthven and The Golden Age, shows that the classic generation will be the force to reckon with in the latter part of the season.
Promising youngster Lean Perfection joined Hot King Prawn as another three-year-old in the Rising Star list, while dual G1 winner Time Warp’s progress this season means he is already established in the top echelon.
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 end of the season.
