Follow Hong Kong racing’s Rising Stars this season at the Hong Kong Jockey Club’s theme site, which launched today, 24 October.
Fans can get the lowdown about Hong Kong’s ascendant equine talents; exciting prospects such as Hot King Prawn, Pakistan Friend and Glorious Forever. The site offers latest information and news to help fans chart the progress of their favourite young stars as they race towards the LONGINES Hong Kong International Races and beyond.
Last season’s Rising Stars generally lived up to expectations. Time Warp and Exultant have progressed to the highest level, with Time Warp winning two G1 contests to date including the LONGINES Hong Kong Cup. Nothingilikemore, a Rising Star in the sprinter/miler category last season, took the Hong Kong Classic Mile and the first leg of Four-Year-Old Classic Series. They are likely to be major players in this year’s LONGINES Hong Kong International Races.
27 members of the racing media and Club commentators were tasked with selecting a total of 12 Rising Stars to follow: (Website: http://campaign.hkjc.com/en/rising-star/index.aspx)
