Horse Racing Singapore and Malaysia

Here are some of my own value pick for today … take a look. As you always noted, I don’t focus on picking favourite unless I think they can win again.

Race 1 – blur … i skip.

Race 2 – Royal Bay. After so many runs, I think right now, should be fit enough to fire. Although bad barrier, “A” course should be ok. Outsider is Magic Eight.

Race 3 – I fancy Gem Arc. This young horse got a lot of capability. Hopefully the body weight will increase a bit. Outsider Victory Star

Race 4 – Looks like Special Time. The field not that strong compared to the previous one.

Race 5 – Tough race … i skip.

Race 6 – Lim XClusive and Astonish got my vote.

Race 7 – Northwind. Outsider Lim’s Hunter

Race 8 – Crusoe … bang in form. Outsider Super Racer.

Race 9 – Our Falstaff

Race 10 – Don Giorgo

Race 11 –

There is nothing more pleasing and a sign of a maturing racing community when you watch the rising number of apprentices that are showing tremendous ability and are being given opportunities commensurate with that ability.

For many years in Asia it has lagged behind the rest of the world in the opportunities given to its apprentices – particularly in Hong Kong where a mix of some of the world’s most competent riders ply their trade and where many owners are fearless and bets in the tens of thousands on their horses are commonplace.

This has led to all erring on the side of the caution and opting to put the leading riders on their horses. But the trend in Hong Kong is being broken big time and in recent months the emergence of jockeys like Terry Yeung, Frankie Tsui, Wei Leung, Terry Wong and Jackie Tong augurs very well for the future

Busy week and tiring … so I did not post my selection.

Here are some of my personal watch list for Sunday.

Race 2 – 7
Race 4 – 3
Race 6 – 7
Race 9 – 6
