The winner looked to have a poorer trip if you ask me.. Race Replay

Just shows, even those top jocks can throw in a crap ride now and then.

STEWARDS CUP WINNER

wow how impressive is that...

Good race for the Saffas with Lloyd running 2nd on Extension.

Back to best excellent win

I was wondering why Maxime Guyon wasn't riding Ambitious Dragon after Millard said he would keep him on.

Here's more about Guyon from Sundays South China Morning Post ... probably nothing to do with him not getting the ride, but it will certainly ensure Whyte has no more competition from Guyon in future:

"Guyon banned for whipping rival jockey
"French rider slapped with nine-meeting suspension for striking Keith Yeung in mid-race

"Alan Aitken

"Frustration turned to lunacy for Maxime Guyon at Sha Tin yesterday and the young French star's Hong Kong contract will come to an abrupt and premature end after he pleaded guilty to striking a rival jockey three times.

"Even as Horse Of The Year Ambitious Dragon was the talk of racing fans with his effortless Stewards' Cup victory under Douglas Whyte, Guyon - ironically the jockey who took that gelding to the top this time last year - was fighting for his licence behind closed doors after hitting Keith Yeung Ming-lun with the whip in a minor race earlier in the day."

Another big win for Millard and Whyte Gold Cup

I wonder if they would go for the Sheema?

Great win thought runner up a bit unlucky and one to follow

Geez that was impressive , Millard has certainly done a great job keeping him in top condition. Runner up didn't have the kick to pass him and Dougie still had plenty in hand, can't wait to see him in Dubai where i hear he is heading next !!

Good news is that Ambitious Dragon came out of his race in fine form and my source in the Millard camp tell me he is going to Dubai for the Duty Free, what are the other form horses that are likely to run in this and does MDK have anything worthy of taking on the Dragon !?
