Darren Beadman brilliance inspires biggest boilover in Hong Kong Sprint history: ‘he was just making up numbers’

Beadman won the Hong Kong race on Sunday. The trainer Greg Eurell brought the gelding to Hongkong on the back of a 2008 campaign that had included five Group One wins in a row. Bead man took the sit behind Apache Cat early and peeled out with the favourite. Corey Brown on Apache cat decided to go back in and they struggled. Inspiration and Boadman went wide and flew. On the line it was Inspirations by a neck from Caspar Fownes-trained Green Birdie. ApacheCat was half a length back.

Romantic Warrior defeat paves way for Golden Sixty Horse of the Year hat-trick, Silvestre de Sousa withdraws appeal

While even a win from Romantic Warrior in Sunday's Group One Standard Chartered Champions & Chater Cup (2400m) may not have made a difference, the superstar's narrow loss to Russian Emperor looks to have ensured a record Horse of the Year hat-trick for Golden Sixty. While Romantic Warrior's connections have to settle for two Group One wins this…

Racing legends like Phar Lap, Kingston Town and Octagonal deserve due recognition

Racing often loses its way when it comes to acknowledging and remembering champions of yesteryear. Unlike other sports that revere their best and boast extensive data bases for study and comparison, the thoroughbred industry does not have a definitive source to maintain and update race records of the equine superstars. On a similar theme, it is…

Centenary Sprint Cup might not have Stewards’ Cup wow factor, but it’s no less significant

It might not quite be the "race of the decade" like last weekend's Stewards' Cup, but Sunday's Group One Centenary Sprint Cup (1200m) is not far behind in terms of significance. Wellington has the opportunity to enter some rare air by adding a Centenary Sprint Cup to his victories in the Chairman's Sprint Prize (2021 and 2022), Queen's Silver…

James McDonald isn't one to look back. When you're the most sought-after jockey in the land, there's not much time for yesterday. "In racing, we skip through the years so quickly," McDonald says. "It's not like you win a premiership and have six months to reflect on it. You're always onto the next race. You win a Cox Plate then you're onto Cup week…

Tony Brassel's top 20 greatest Australian racehorses numbers 20-to-16

Initially, I didn't need any race form for this project. Weights and measures count, like times and ratings, breeding, management and navigation. But racehorses appeal simply as individuals. Watching them run, walk, parade or simply stand is one of life's pleasures - and educations. Winston Churchill once said, "There is something about the outside…

One of the few permitted pastimes in Hong Kong right now is salvaging positives out of suboptimal situations and while Golden Sixty's shock defeat on Sunday knocked the racing world for six, there could be some silver linings in all of this. Like a Hong Kong government persisting with a'zero-Covid' policy, Golden Sixty was left scrambling in the…
