Runners with points in HVMC produced brilliant performances 16 November 2003
In the most recent HV meeting on November 4, the points-earners just about dominated the three Challenge races that night. Sixteen runners with points produced three winners, two seconds and two thirds, while six of them dominated the first three positions in Races 8 and 9 respectively. Horses that had previously won points in HVMC also proved the ones to follow at Happy Valley on October 29 when there were three Challenge races. Nine HVMC runners with points produced two winners, a second and a third that night, while four runners grabbed the first four positions in Race 6. With twenty-five point earners competing in six races totally for these two race meetings, they resulted in five wins, three seconds, three thirds, three fourths and two fifths, accounting for 20% and 44% of winning and placing rates respectively.

HVMC top five contenders have a relatively high strike rate too. Four leaders carrying the yellow saddlecloth out of a total six outings produced a winner, two thirds, a fourth and a fifth. The Happy Valley Million Challenge, a contest for the best-performed horse at the Happy Valley track for Class Three events or above from September 1 to December 31, is nearly two-thirds completed, with only five HV race meetings left. Those hoping to win the Million Challenge must seize every chance in the remaining Valley programmes. The Peter Ng Bik-kuen-trained Dashing Champion leads the race for the HK$1 million bonus with 40 points after three victories and a third placing at the course, while Grand Fighter from the same stable is in second position with 30 points. Theoretically, runners with more than 16 points still hold a chance of being crowned the overall champion. - List of the 10 leading contenders of HVMC
