THE FAST TRACK GETS PHOBIC ABOUT DIRT.
Some people takes to dirt racing like a pig in kaka and Frenchman Olivier Doleuze has the rather dubious title of being, “The King Kong of Hong Kong dirt racing” and even recently winning on Rich Tapestry in Dubai.
For whatever weird reason, Ollie is simply unbeatable when on the right horses racing on the all-weather track.
Maybe he spent much of his time digging for earthworms with Pigpen?
Today, he looks certain to be amongst the winners on one of those mercifully rare all-weather meetings- and in Shatin so, if on the way to Happy Valley, you might be the only one there though we think the HKJC should make more of a song and dance about cross-betting- and cross-dressing.
R1 COLUMBUS LINE/SLEDGE HAMMER/GOLDWEAVER/DIAMOND START
Allez allez, L’Ollie!
R2 NAMJONG BLOSSOMS/LOADS OF JOY
R3 HURRY HURRY UP/STAR OF WAI BO/GREAT PEGASUS/NAUGHTY BABY
It will be fun to watch Alvin Ng try and tame that nutty horse Naughty Baby in a very open first leg of the Six Up.
R4 XILAI XIANZI/CROATIA/DANESOUTH
The first leg of the Triple Trio and no surprise if there’s a huge upset. Good to see Howard Cheng back riding after a long time on the sidelines through injury.
R5 TURIN PEARL/SMART MAN/ACCESS YEARS
This should be the boxed quinella.
R6 RIYADH/BUDDY BUDDIES/OLE OLE/PERCY JACKSON
The real blow out leg of the Triple Trio.
Again, beware The Ides Of March
R7 DEHERE’S THE LOVE/SLICK BULLET
R8 GREAT SPIRIT/SHINY DAY/FREE JUDGEMENT/EAGLE POWER
Love the chances of Great Spirit as long as jockey Derek Leung doesn’t suffer from
Brain Freeze.
