Congratulation, the wrong horse is in the Hong Kong Derby

The BMW Hong Kong Derby is taking place on Sunday. Congratulation was picked ahead of Flagship Glory. The horse has only one start in Hongkong and won one race. He came to HongKong from Ireland on a mark of 89. He was beaten by Beauty Smile in the Chinese New Cup on February 14. Flagships Glory is first reserve. Jockey Club director or racing business and operations Bill Nader confirmed it was a close call. They decided to pick Congrats. It was their respective ratings. On Sunday, Flagskins was just 16.5 lengths back.

Flagship Glory won his debut race on Sunday. He has a mark of 84 in Hong Kong. Congratulation's connections have been rewarded for not racing. Flagship Gloory is a reserve in the HK$24 million feature. Congrautulation is considered a $41 hope. They will race each other over 2,000m on March 21. The winner will be the favourite. It's not easy to choose. There are horses who are better than others. Smart Folks has dropped from 82 to 63 in eight starts. Indicative Vote and Ming Warrior have also had poor starts in their homeland.
