Trainer Tony Millard labelled Ambitious Dragon a "super champion" after the reigning Horse of the Year overcame a lameness scare and won the HK$20 million Longines Hong Kong Mile at Sha Tin on Sunday The6YO came from well back for jockey Zac Purton to overhaul the pretender, Glorious Days (Douglas Whyte), and deliver an emphatic statement: "I am the boss". Another Hong Kong horse, Packing Ok, ran third. Ambitious Dragon was lame yesterday and only passed a vet examination this morning after being walked for hours and hours by Millard's staff.
Aussie stayer Alcopop 20/1 finished well on the inner to grab 3rd in Sunday's HK Mile at Sha Tin. The race went to California Memory in a back-to-back win in the world's richest 2000m turf race. Mathew Chadwick and California Memory made brilliant use of gate one - in a carbon copy of last year - to box seat and then blow his rivals away in the straight. His margin over Giofra flattered the French filly.
