Lucia Valentina thriving
4 December 2015
New Zealand mare Lucia Valentina travelled without incident from Sydney to Hong Kong and is settling well into her new surroundings.
“We won’t have to do much with her next week, but hopefully I will be able to give her a hit-out at Sha Tin on Tuesday morning,” trainer Kris Lees said.
Raced by Lib Petagna, the Savabeel mare will be ridden by Damien Oliver in Sunday week’s Gr.1 Hong Kong Cup.
