HAILTOTHEVICTORS

Three weeks ago, the horse was very disappointing over 1800m on Sha Tin turf, tracking near the front with a steady pace and unimpressive movement. Running again over 1800m on dirt, this time with a six-pound weight reduction, the time performance was acceptable and the overall rating placed him among the leaders in the field. While the jockey's riding style complemented the horse, the circumstances were slightly unfavorable and the closing burst was somewhat lacking; however, he still has winning potential.
