80 winners. First in the premiership. Last in expected wins. What if Hong Kong's leading jockey is also — by one important measure — its biggest under performer? We ran the numbers.

@HKRacingLuke nearly did -- Worth following him for his analyses of HK Racing. Luke had "#10 Call Me Magnifique showed improvement in a recent trial and may be ready to show something on race day after two no-shows, where he drew wide, settled back and failed to make an impact. The step to 2,000m is key to his chances."
Even Golden Sixty could not go 4-for-4 from debut for trainer Francis Lui, and now Lui attempts it with HOT DELIGHT.
The last time a Lui-trained horse went 4-for-4 from debut was SUNNY POWER under K W Lui back in 2006.
Mark Newnham trained 5 winners from 9 runners at Happy Valley. In the past 47 years of HKJC racing — 3,551 race meetings — that's only happened 14 times.
He's been in Hong Kong for three seasons.

My buddy @rajeshbijlani6 tipped seven out of seven winners on the Hyderabad card today. Worth following him if you have anything to do with Indian racing.
Two sides of C+3 at Happy Valley. On one night in 2010, draws 1-3 won 7 of 8 races. Last Wednesday, they won 0 of 9. Somewhere in between, the low-draw advantage quietly halved. Here's what 30 years of data looks like.

@HKRacingUS Ordered in June 2024 for HK racing, found data errors, sent screenshots — never heard back. Called today: no past data available, future races PDF only. Has anyone used Ragozin for HK meetings? Surely someone has it in a usable format for past race meetings?
Great debate on The Triple Trio about Tony Cruz and the whip.
We ran the numbers. 76,612 runners. 7 seasons.
Cruz's unwhipped horses win at nearly DOUBLE the rate of his whipped ones.
The data may surprise you.

Heads up: HKJC moved their racing data URLs from old .aspx pages to clean REST endpoints. Redirects work today but won't last forever. Time to update your scrapers. A heads up from @HKJC_Racing with details would be nice.
Which website would you recommend for watching racing replays from Great Britain and Ireland? -- mainly interested in horses that get exported to Hong Kong as PPs.
