The Club hosted a special ceremony at Sha Tin Racecourse today to bid farewell to California Memory, the only horse to have won back-to-back renewals of the Group 1 Hong Kong Cup (2000m) at the Hong Kong International Races. Having retired recently, the grey gelding will enjoy his well-deserved retirement at Australia’s world renowned Living Legends.
