SOME OF THE MORE INTERESTING PEOPLE TO MEET DURING HK INTERNATIONAL WEEK


SOME OF THE MORE INTERESTING PEOPLE  1

………………………………………

CARA GROGAN


SOME OF THE MORE INTERESTING PEOPLE  2

Australasian beauty and model who is one of our favorite people. Think she told us her Dad, who lives on the Gold Coast, is into racing in a big way, but we weren’t listening. We were smitten.


SOME OF THE MORE INTERESTING PEOPLE  3

Was selected to appear in a recent Duran Duran video, has started up her own businesses and, rather sadly, marries some Italian model next year.

CASPAR FOWNES


SOME OF THE MORE INTERESTING PEOPLE  5

Of course, at the track and at work, he is all business and we are eternally grateful for his Dream Builder obliging at 40s on Sunday at Shatin. Away from the track, he can “do” David Ferraris, Dougie Whyte, EB, a Bollywood dude and a very local owner, all to perfection. He really is the racing world’s Russell Peters.

Known for bellowing his way through “Release Me” at karaoke sessions, he gets quite girlie and weak in the knees at the mention of Michael Buble. It’s a man-crush thing.

Cas-i-bah is also said to be the originator of Gangnam Style and is actually the person inside the mascot the HKJC keeps wheeling out to Bang’Em and Gangnam nearly every Happy Wednesday.

SARIKA CHOY


SOME OF THE MORE INTERESTING PEOPLE  6

A model by day and who moonlights as a Racing Specialist for the HKJC.

On duty at the races until 6.30pm before filming the fifth episode of Finding Happy Wednesday.


Requests for her to interview you for the reality series, have to go through us. Okay?

………………………………………

TONY CRUZ


SOME OF THE MORE INTERESTING PEOPLE  7

Of course, Tony’s a very savvy trainer and a brilliant jockey during his time, and well worth meeting to hear him talk about how he saw the “white light” after a horrific fall in France and how he saw his face come off and peered into his own eyeballs while being operated on.

Not for the faint hearted and best to be heard not right before or right after dinner.


SOME OF THE MORE INTERESTING PEOPLE  8

Let’s himself go at karaoke until he insists on singing all the songs like the Bee Gees.

Gets boring after three hours so when this happens, stare and wonder if his hair is made of steel.

Often lapses into thinking he’s James Brown. Refuses to believe that The Godfather Of Soul is dead and gets mighty pissed off if you insist that JB is R.I.P.

FASTTRACK

The new way of looking at horse racing

The world of entertainment today is vast, it cannot be defined, it is intertwined and has become one. One cannot, for example, have music without fashion- and vice versa. Rock Stars, supermodels, actors and actresses and sports heroes have formed Mutual Admiration Societies.

 

On www.fasttrack.hk, you will see Who’s In, Who’s Out, What’s Hot and What’s Not- in Hong Kong and the rest of the world- in English and Chinese. It’s all ballsy stuff that breaks new ground and tells it like it is. The gloves are off. 

Fast Track is the authority and driving force to steer you along the edgy road to this new world of entertainment.. Of course, there will be our opinions- off-the-wall, to-the-point and no waffle.

 

More important to us is what you think. Really think. Agree, disagree, or tell us to take a hike. As long as it’s a hike on the fast track of life, it doesn’t matter.
