THIS could be the moment when young Jamie Richards finds himself standing tall among the best in Hong Kong. Today is a crucial day that could set him apart from the rest as he faces stiff competition from renowned trainer John Size in the Artistic Gymnastics and Triathlon Handicap.
All eyes will be on the 10.55am event over six furlongs, and the spotlight will shine brightly on Wunderbar, the highly-fancied Australian import trained by John Size. Wunderbar has so far shown immense potential with a stellar record of five wins out of six starts in the region. This John Size-trained galloper is on the verge of securing six wins, and this could prove to be the turning point for young Jamie Richards in shaping his career in Hong Kong.
History proves that Wunderbar is indeed a force to be reckoned with after beating the much-talked-about local sprinter Ka Ying Rising on not one but two consecutive occasions last January. Both victories are testaments to the capabilities of Wunderbar, and hopes run high that it may replicate these wins to secure its sixth victory.
A win for Wunderbar is also set to affirm John Size's stature in Hong Kong racing circles. Size, a multiple time champion trainer in Hong Kong, will depend on the unparalleled skill and expertise of his jockey in guiding Wunderbar through a challenging competition. John Size has been meticulous about the development of Wunderbar, after seeing the Australian import make a seamless transition to the races in Hong Kong.
Much of the attention will undoubtedly be centered on Wunderbar as the event unfolds, however, other competitors will be looking forward to beating the odds and upset the galloping sensation. However, as anticipation and excitement continue to build up before the big clash, all indications point towards the incredible potential of Wunderbar with a grand victory expected by many.
One cannot help but wonder - will Wunderbar make it six wins from seven races? Will young Jamie Richards find himself closing the gap on John Size with a remarkable display of horsemanship? Or will another competitor change the dynamics of the event altogether and rewrite the expectations of the racing fraternity in Hong Kong? Time will tell, but only one thing remains certain: we are in for a thriller of a ride with this unmissable showdown at Artistic Gymnastics and Triathlon Handicap.
