The inaugural season at Sport of Kings is rolling along and building up momentum as we approach the half way mark.  There are a lot of happening and events worth discussing but we will focus on some of the most interesting ones.

Anfield Road has certainly shown his willingness to engage anyone at anytime and the depth of his stable through these first two months.  He has already accumulated 85 victories and 41 maiden winners!  His top horse is Kiki Dee, which he purchased in auction for $60 from West Weston Westoner, and has earned over $160 in prize money.  Kiki Dee was narrowly edged out in her last start, her first attempt at turf and will likely look to rebound on a return to dirt.

Ritchie Racing is another hot stable who has a horse that is proving to be a really tough campaigner.  Honeybunny is a two year old colt that has already seen the track 8 times and has accumulated a record of 5-3-0 with $35.44 in earnings.  His most recent race was a two length victory in the Hong Kong Sprint at Happy Valley where he posted a top speed rating of 106.  This colt out of Unusual Heat looks to be a real prospect that will take some beating.

In future news the second round of Championships will be held this weekend and already features purses in excess of $1,250.  We can expect to see some much anticipated rematches and some new faces that lurk just in the shadows, ready to pounce for a victory.  Remember, it is never too late to get into the game and get a horse in the race, and with over $1,200 up for grab almost every month in the championships there has never been a better time to try and grab your piece of the pie.


The May Championships are in the books and saw over $1,300 in prize money paid out in a single day. The races were almost all competitive and very few stables walked away losers thanks to the large amount of added money that was available in the purses. The eight different races saw five different stables in the winners circle.  This was a great start to the season and we expect to see many of the horses competing again next month.




Juvenile Sprint Championship
One of the best races of the day was a 6 furlong sprint over a slow main track.  This race saw Kiki Dee, sent out by West Weston Westoner, stalk a fast pace set by Anfield Road's LFC Combat all the way to the stretch and then surge in front to win by a solid 2 lengths.  Those two were 3 clear of the rest of the field all of whom put in solid efforts chasing the top two around the track.  

The winner took home a cool $95.50 for her efforts and will look to build on what is now a two race winning streak.
