Hong Kong Racing Tips: Baby can take the Valley by Storm
Joao Moreira has another strong book of rides at Happy Valley
FOLLOWING horses with low draw numbers should be a recipe for success when racing resumes with a nine-race programme at Happy Valley on Wednesday.
The action takes place on the ‘B’ course, which historically has given low numbers a notable advantage, especially in six furlong and extended mile races in the last three seasons.
Records show that in six furlong sprints, horses housed in numbers one, two or three have a 46% strike rate from 87 races.
The figures read even better in races over the extended mile, with horses drawn in the lowest four numbers having a 56% win ratio, from just 73 contests.
Hong Kong Racing Tips: Lor’s Runner looks a strong contender in finale
Frankie Lor is seeking to reel in Caspar Fownes in the trainers championship.
IN-FORM trainer Frankie Lor sends a handful of raiders to Happy Valley in an attempt to close the six-winner gap, currently held by Caspar Fownes with 38 wins, in the trainers’ title race.
Lor’s stable has been the most consistent in town since the season started, and not a week goes by without him seemingly visiting the winners’ circle.
His record at Happy Valley this season also reads well with 13 wins and a 33% win and place strike rate, and he will surely be hopeful of boosting that tally by the end of the day.
