All Are Mine recorded a decisive victory in the Class Five Shenyang Handicap (1,600 meters) at Sha Tin on Thursday, securing his third win from 33 local starts. Ridden by jockey Alexis Badel and trained by Brett Crawford, the gelding surged from mid-pack to lead decisively in the final 80 meters, crossing the finish line nearly two lengths ahead of his rivals.
All Are Mine’s recent form has shown improvement, with two strong performances earlier this season before breaking through for this latest win. In a tightly contested race for second place, Fortune King narrowly prevailed after a wide move from last in the field. The horse has demonstrated promise with seconds in both of his starts this term. I Excelle also put in a notable late effort from the rear to challenge for second, reflecting an upward trend following a positive showing on the opening day of the season.
In another race over 1,000 meters, Colourful King capitalized on front-running tactics to secure a fifth career victory in his 17th local start. The favorite settled close to the lead on the stands side before taking control 100 meters out and finishing clear. Magic Control, well supported in betting, settled early and dictated pace but just held second place, while Bottomup hovered from last position before closing strongly on the far side.
Over the same distance, Solid Car, the odds-on favorite, claimed his first victory after 15 previous starts. Settling midfield, he produced a strong finish in the final 20 meters. Prestige Come improved markedly wearing blinkers for the third time, taking second after a run from behind midfield. Chill Partners, who led briefly approaching the 300-meter mark, finished third over his preferred 1,400-meter range.
Ka Ying Lightning maintained an undefeated record in just his second career start, moving decisively from mid-race to seize the lead in the closing stages of a 1,200-meter contest. Jedi Spurs, the even-money favorite, narrowly held second after setting a steady pace from mid-field, despite carrying top weight. Handsome Hero finished strongly to narrowly miss placing, showing progression following a debut fifth-place run last month.
E Ho Ho secured a maiden win in his fourth start, demonstrating resilience when racing wide early but finding enough to lead approaching the finish in a 1,200-meter event. Virtus Glory, the favorite, made a late bid for second but was unable to overcome the winner, continuing a pattern of consistent but winless performances. Speedy Power closed well from near the rear to finish just off the placings, reinforcing promise after a recent trial success under a new trainer.
Super Goldendragon took control late in a 1,800-meter race to claim his third victory and first at the longer distance, highlighting his competitiveness at an increased grade while carrying a light weight. Victor Supreme improved on his previous run, finishing second after tracking inside, and Supreme Mastermind also recorded a personal best over the Sha Tin 1,800 meters, finishing strongly from a patient ride.
In another 1,400-meter event, Aeroplanic took charge from the rails to notch a fourth career win from 18 starts. Chill Buddy contested the lead throughout, responding well to the step up in distance, while Superb Spirit finished with a strong late run despite a lack of clear racing room in the final stages.
