Hong Kong Racing Tips: Baby can take the Valley by Storm
Joao Moreira has another strong book of rides at Happy Valley
FOLLOWING horses with low draw numbers should be a recipe for success when racing resumes with a nine-race programme at Happy Valley on Wednesday.
The action takes place on the ‘B’ course, which historically has given low numbers a notable advantage, especially in six furlong and extended mile races in the last three seasons.
Records show that in six furlong sprints, horses housed in numbers one, two or three have a 46% strike rate from 87 races.
The figures read even better in races over the extended mile, with horses drawn in the lowest four numbers having a 56% win ratio, from just 73 contests.
