The World Champion Is Out There

The Hong Kong Cup is, as ever, the final leg of the EWSRC. Will the 2001 renewal provide as gripping a climax as we witnessed in 2000? Or will another Daylami-like colossus have emerged to sweep to success long before the
best horses in the world arrive in the SAR?

Last year, Fantastic Light, for Godolphin and Frankie Dettori, danced away with the $HK14 million Hong Kong Cup at Sha Tin last Decemmber and earned points in four series races. The 12 points gained in Hong Kong Cup was enough for him to surge past the Irish 'Iron Horse' and series leader Giant's Causeway and become the World Champion of 2000.
