Classique Legend to make Hong Kong move after Everest, Aethero suffers setback

Classique Legend will be imported to Hong Kong later this year. The Boniface Ho Ka-kui-owned five-year-old will take up Ho's slot in the Everest on October 17. Aethero, a four- year- old horse, has injured his tendon. He hasn't raced since April after bleeding badly in a Group One Chairman’s Sprint Prize (1,200m) and joined Caspar Fownes' stable from John Moore in May. He suffered a fever following last year”s Hongkong Sprint. Fownedes doesn't rule out a trip back to Australia in 2021.
