A graduate of LA’s Karaka Premier draft, Regency Bo Bo (Denman-Tsukioka by Flying Spur) recorded his fifth Hong Kong success when he led most of the way to win a 1400m Class 2 event at Sha Tin on Saturday evening holding out the strong finish from runner-up Morethanlucky (Per Incanto-Viking Angel by Viking Ruler)

A winner on his Hong Kong debut back in November 2016, Regency Bo Bo has been a model of consistency with ten minor placings supplementing his five victories. The 5YO gelding was a $400,000 purchase from LA’s 2015 Premier draft by Stu Hale Bloodstock.

Promising filly Princess Amelie (Snitzel-Just Dancing by Fusaichi Pegasus) opened her 3YO season with an impressive win over 1200m at Hastings on Saturday. A $300,000 purchase by Lisa Latta from LA’s 2017 Premier draft, Princess Amelie impressed in three starts as a juvenile rounding out her campaign with a win over 1000m at Tauherenikau. The Lincoln Farms owned filly holds a nomination for the 1000 Guineas. Star performance(Per Incanto–Star Guest) finished a very strong third behind Princess Amelie which was an eye-catching run and should finish him off nicely for his next start in the Hawkes Bay Guineas.

Generous hospitality, warm friendly faces
