Fartoomuch 1,376 Report post Posted January 14, 2018 It is without doubt the fairest/most competitive in the world.IMHO. Riders and Trainers are on retainers.Nobody needs to cheat with all the money on offer and those that occasionally do are quickly sent home or prison. The punting volumes are massive, the HKJC are the only legalized gambling option in the colony. Many of the racing profits are distributed to the community even allowing for their huge minimum stakes. If you want to learn more EJ i suggest you go to the HKJC website Eastwood Jaunty 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The HKJC website is superb. The only thing you need to be wary of are races on the All Weather at Shatin. Some horses just love it and others will not go a yard, so check the runner stats for this track before launching into the punt. Also there will be horses that go real well at Happy Valley but not so flash at Shatin and vice versa.

Eastwood Jaunty 148 Report post Posted January 15, 2018 Thank you for the replies. The pools looks incredible for win, place, quinella. Looks like quaddies aren't commingled and no Jockey Challenge? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Donovan 48 Report post Posted January 16, 2018 HK is fantastic racing, particularly Sha Tin as opposed to the midweek Happy Valley. Hutchies Honkers site is a very good resource and worth paying on a meeting by meeting basis. Joao Moreria, Zac Purton and Karis Teetan are the top hoops, but there are other excellent Aussie Jocks as well. Joao is astonishing and to my eye rarely rides a bad race, he has the uncanny knack of being in the right place, he rides at all weights from 52kg upwards. There is so much in the pools, I was there on HK Derby day and there was 20m NZD per race in each pool, but the lack of co mingling for trifectas means that there are tiny NZ pools and better to bet off shore.
