International Jockeys' Championship draw again favours visiting riders

Douglas Whyte, Zac Purton and Keith Yeung Ming-lun are the only players on the draw for the International Jockeys' Championship at Happy Valley on Wednesday. The draw favours visiting riders. Puron rides Safari Magic, Ho Wongchoy, Cruz, Rocket Let Win and Majestic Anthems. Whye rides Heart Wood and Speedy Sandy. Yeng makes his debut in the contest. The chase for HK$500,000 first prize is decided by points in each leg. Last year, Peter Ho Leung dominated, training three of the four winning horses.
