Line Seeker strikes again

30 December 2014

Buyers will be rueing a missed opportunity following Line Seeker’s latest victory at Sha Tin.

Unwanted as a yearling when he failed to meet his $50,000 reserve at Karaka in 2013, the son of O’Reilly has now won two of his three starts in Hong Kong for trainer Paul O’Sullivan.

Line Seeker’s latest success on Sunday night came over 1400 metres in the skilled hands of Zac Purton and provided O’Sullivan with the opening leg of a New Zealand-bred double.

He later produced the High Chaparral gelding Racing Hero to win for the seventh time in his career.

The Corner with Garry Chittick

It would appear I now have to continue my weekly Corner with the amount of rumblings at the start of our new racing season. I have been around long enough to know we can never please all; my tenure as Chairman of the Racing Board was subjected to as much vitriol as subsequent Boards have had to bear, so what’s different this time, or is it different.
