Follow Hong Kong racing’s Rising Star candidates 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 season’s remaining feature races.

Five youngsters with plenty of potential now comprise the Sprinter/Miler section, including Full Of Beauty, already a five-time winner this season and  a possible star in the making. In addition, Champion’s Way, Dan Control and Voyage Warrior represent a vintage three-year-old crop this season, as all three have won in impressive fashion. Among the trio, the John Size-trained Champion’s Way has won his five starts in Hong Kong and is no doubt an exciting prospect. Meanwhile, the two-year-old stablemate Leap Of Faith has everything ahead of him.

Those already in the list have not let racing fans down this term, with Furore claiming the BMW Hong Kong Derby, while Dark Dream was on the score-sheet again this month. The updated Rising Star roll-call also includes the Derby runner-up Waikuku, Ho Ho Khan and Ka Ying Star, all with proven track records showing that the classic generation should be a force to reckon in the future.

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.
