Racing Hong Kong form and wonton Racing discussion thread

[Duritz]

Hi everyone,

I haven't done much HK form in the past but am going back through the last couple of years and rating them, with the intention of doing form on them going ahead. So, thought I, let's have a HK racing discussion thread, for those of us who want to do the form and follow the races there.

Interest?

4 defeats from his last starts 5 as fave; 3 of those at $1.60 or less

Does HK not have 3yo racing? Is that why their Derby (for 4yos over 2000m) is about as much a Derby as the old Magic Millions Stayers Cup over 1800m.

Unsuitable distances, probably a 2miler

It's 4yo's to account for both hemispheres and a better quality/exposed race.

You're the one that says spring 3yo's =\= autumn 3yo's

So what - that's not what the Derby is about - that's why the Derby is the Derby and the Arc is the Arc

Where do you envisage the best place to bet on HK is?

Through any willing bowlers I'd say.

Also probably doesn't affect exotics if you're that way inclined.

That depends what you're betting. I ain't going down the Asian exchange path with it though. I value my kneecaps.

Is BF not a viable option? Duritz

No idea about HK but I would assume the liquidity would be OK?

Your theories are fantastic, in theory. However in practice BF are not allowed to operate on HK.

I appreciate the kind feedback on my theory. I couldn't hear the rest as I'm wearing a towel.

I'm not up and going yet, still about 130 meets to rate before I can do form...

I was in HK the previous year. I enjoyed the egg custard tarts. There were also some other tarts that took the eye.
