That great record enjoyed in Hong Kong by the progeny of stallion Elusive City didn’t work tonight with Shahjee.
Many thought that this galloper would give jockey English jokey Noel Callan his first winner in Hong Kong for this season.
But this was not to be with the horse being kept three wide for most of the journey.
The race was won by Pocket Rockets ridden by Douglas Keeper and which came from almost last to win at 24 to 1.
Intellectual Stride might have been the unlucky story of the night as it was blocked for a run at a critical part of the race and came storming down the outside.
Whyte took the shorter way home and saluted- and won the Golden Bauhinia Cup.
Wait for someone like Zac Purton to get on Shahjee in Shatin.
This might do the trick.
