British-born trainer Annabel Neasham has risen to the top of the Australian ranks remarkably quickly and is hoping for another landmark victory on Sunday (11 December) when Laws Of Indices takes on local hero Golden Sixty in the HK$30 million G1 LONGINES Hong Kong Mile (1600m) at Sha Tin.
Neasham, 31, has enjoyed success at the highest level with another former European-trained horse in Zaaki and is hoping the Irish export and 2021 G1 Prix Jean Prat (1400m) winner Laws Of Indices can build on his promising Australian form.
She said: “It’s very exciting, it’s my first time in Hong Kong so it’s amazing to be coming here with a horse. It’s one of the biggest race days globally on the calendar, so it’s a privilege to have a horse running.
“Law Of Indices was based in Ireland, won his Group 1 in France, raced at Ascot and is now Group 1-placed several times in Australia. He’s an amazing horse because when he arrived in Australia, he had a gleaming summer coat and he’s never lost that. James McDonald knows him well and he galloped him on Tuesday and rang me as soon as he got off him and said he feels terrific.”
