Fang Jiabo will send seven horses to the battle on Wednesday (July 12) night in Happy Valley, and strive to surpass Lu Jianwei (31st), who is temporarily ahead of him by one horse this season, and become the one with the most winners in Happy Valley this season Trainer, cementing his status as the Grass King.
Fang Jiabo is the trainer with the best record in Happy Valley. So far, he has achieved many successes in Happy Valley, including six wins in one day at the racecourse in 2010.
Fang Jiabo has accumulated 570 winners in Happy Valley since he practiced. When talking about the nickname, he joked, “There is only one ‘King Grass’, of course I can do it.”
Fang Jiabo’s “Talent High”, who won the previous battle under Fang Jiabo, will play in the Junhuangying Handicap (1000m Class 4) tomorrow night. He will continue to partner He Zeyao and start from sixth gear with a negative 125 pounds.
“The horse’s recent performance has been stable. After winning the previous race, he also won the runner-up in the last race. This race will definitely be competitive.” Fang Jiabo said.
The four-year-old Jiasi’s “Talented High” sire comes from Swiss Ace. The opponents in this battle include “Wu Qianshuai” (134 pounds) who won the first battle beautifully, “Qibao” (135 pounds), “Invincible” (128 pounds) lbs) and “Jia Zun III” (117 lbs), etc.
The American-born six-year-old horse “Happy Lucky Star” (133 lbs) transferred to Fong Jiabo’s stable in the middle of the season, and will also partner with He Zeyao tomorrow night to compete with the remaining 11 horses to create a future handicap (class 3 of 1800m) .
Fang Jiabo said: “The horse returns to Happy Valley today, and He Zeyao is in charge of the bridle. It has maintained good momentum at the end of the past two races. Now it should increase its distance to compete for 1800 meters. This distance should be suitable for it to perform.”
“Happy Lucky Star” has won five championships since its debut in Hong Kong, including three winners in Happy Valley.
Fang Jiabo will send “Xiwangju” to compete in the Jewelry Sun Handicap (1650m Class 2) at the end of tomorrow night, also led by He Zeyao. He Zeyao will also play with “Sir Jun” and “Chizi Ambition” tomorrow night, hoping to add another winner to Fang Jiabo.
Fang Jiabo said: “He (‘Xiwang horse’) did a good test in Happy Valley last season. This race will be his first race in Happy Valley. We waited for a while before letting him compete in the Happy Valley race. I will Do your best to make the horse win a special prize.”
If the son of this “important witness” can win the second class with a score of 80 points or above before the age of five, he will be eligible to receive a special bonus of one million Hong Kong dollars for self-purchased new horses.
This Wednesday (July 12) Happy Valley Racecourse has a total of nine races, and the first race, Class 5 Wonderful Handicap (1000m), will start at 6:45pm.
