13 March 2015

Pins’ two-time Hong Kong Horse of the Year Ambitious Dragon shoots for his second win in the HK-1 Queen’s Silver Jubilee Cup (1400m) at Sha Tin this Sunday.

Under the guidance of trainer Tony Millard, Ambitious Dragon won the 2013 edition of the race, defeating Time After Time and Glorious Days for the honours on this occasion.

The now 8YO gelding is the winner of seven group one races in Hong Kong and enters Sunday’s feature following an encouraging last start effort in the HK-1 Stewards Cup on January 25.

Oaks Day glory for Waikato Stud-bred Sulek

Waikato Stud enjoyed a special moment on Oaks Day at Flemington on Thursday, when the New Zealand-bred gelding Sulek – by Super Seth out the O’Reilly mare Tiff And Co, saluted on one of the biggest days of the racing calendar and in front of an international crowd. Bred by the farm in partnership with the Dowager Duchess of Bedford, Sulek took out the A$500,000 Cirka Melbourne Cup Carnival Country Final (1600m) for the third and most lucrative win of his career.
