Hong Kong racing continues at Happy Valley on Sunday (31 October).Can one choose both paths changing characters?To my knowledge, no - If you want both light and dark on the same character, you need to do your 2nd promotions for Sorceror/Cleric in Enroth, and this prevents you from having Grandmastery. Tony Cruz and Matthew Chadwick combined successfully with Party Everyday in the Class 4 Tiu Yue Yung Handicap (1800m) before Douglas WhyteвЂ™s Thunderstrike scored under Vincent Ho in the first section of the Class 4 Tin Ha Shan Handicap (1200m). Ting continued impressive impetus after Lucky Victor was given a brilliant ride from gate 13 by Keith Yeung to snare the Class 5 Wa Mei Shan Handicap (1800m).

вЂњHe had a fall at Happy Valley last season and I think itвЂ™s taken a long time for him to get his confidence back.вЂќ вЂњHis rating fell to 18, so itвЂ™s good to see him win like he did. вЂњHe likes this surface and he also ran well on it last start, he ran second, which was a big improvement,вЂќ Lor said. Lor hopes Sha TinвЂ™s All Weather surface is the key to The Elites after the geldingвЂ™s breakthrough victory in the Class 5 Tsim Mei Fung Handicap (1200m) under Vagner Borges. I hope he can back up and go ahead after this race.вЂќ Even today, although he was a bit weak in the last 100 (metres), he was strong overall in his performance. вЂњLast season, he had a serious bump in a race at the 400 (metre mark) and he lost his confidence and he lost his heart. вЂњIt was an advantage for us to have a soft lead and he was always going to have a good chance. вЂњIt was important for him to get into his rhythm, everyone knows he is good on the All Weather,вЂќ Leung said. Leung said the key to success in the programme feature was tempo. That is maybe the point we won the race.вЂќ вЂњI think the jockey (Leung) did a good thing, we got draw three and (Zac) Purton was in draw four so I told the jockey that we needed to jump first and hold the rail to see if Purton's horse wanted to come across him and maybe then he would use a little bit. If he moves to 106, maybe we need to race him on the turf, or I think in December they have 105-80 again over 1650 (metres) but it depends how many points them give him. вЂњWe don't know how many points he will get - maybe five or six. вЂњDubai is in March so there is still plenty of time and we don't know if they will be open or not,вЂќ Lor said. Posting his fourth victory over the 1650m All Weather, and his second successive triumph in the Hebe Hill Handicap, Kings Shield might be given the chance to prove his wares overseas as Lor ponders options for the gelded son of Scat Daddy. Lor, who was second in the 2017/18 trainersвЂ™ championship behind mentor John Size, took training honours at the all-dirt meeting. MaiaвЂ™s mid-week feat was matched by Derek Leung, who figured successfully on LorвЂ™s Kings Shield in the Class 2 Hebe Hill Handicap (1650m) and Gunnison for Me Tsui in the Class 3 Pyramid Hill Handicap (1200m).

Too strong! Magic Supreme bolts clear to give his third win this season.

Maia struck for Man aboard Magic Supreme in the second section of the Class 4 Tin Ha Shan Handicap (1200m) before triumphing on LuiвЂ™s Chancheng Prince in the Class 3 Shek Uk Shan Handicap (1650m). вЂњI have not had many rides this season (30), but I will continue to work hard and try and get more support. вЂњThis is my first double in Hong Kong and I am extremely grateful to Francis Lui, Manfred Man and David Hayes and the other trainers who have given me opportunities. The 14th meeting of the season delivered an unexpected bounty for Brazilian Maia, who capitalised brilliantly on limited opportunities to land his first brace since relocating from Singapore last season.

Vaulting to within a win of David Hayes (14 victories), Lor and Ting boosted their tallies to 13 for the term after their in-form stables completed bountiful October stints with nine wins each, as Tony Cruz (10 wins) joined the title log-jam with Party EverydayвЂ™s success.
