Final Week

Final week of racing was spent at Sha Tin race course in Hong Kong with our horses Trigun, Narsil and Melkor.

Trigun gave us quite the shock when he placed last in the Hong Kong Cup. It was a very poor performance, he just seemed to fizzle out unexpectedly after the first half of the race. At first we thought he might have come away injured or sore, so our vets checked him and he was clean. A fluke? Maybe. He will start out slow next season.

Narsil and Melkor in the Hong Kong Vase performed up to standards. Narsil went to place a well 3rd behind two excellent horses, Color Of Fame and Jenny's My Gal. Melkor was never really a factor in the race but at least he wasn't last. I think Melkor may continue to improve next year.

Thus ends the racing season.
