Everest winner Classique Legend is the favourite to win the Gr.1 Hong Kong Sprint. Trainer Caspar Fownes has plans in place to avoid any unforeseen setbacks in the lead-up to the Hong Kong Sprint in three weeks. Another Boniface Ho Ka-Kui horse presenting Fownes with no such problems is Southern Legend, who has proven age is no barrier.
As Hot King Prawn crossed the line for a hard-fought victory in Sunday’s Jockey Club Sprint, many were quick to anoint Classique Legend as the Hong Kong Sprint winner in waiting.
