If you read one HKIR piece by me today, make it this one……
"I’ve been lucky enough to witness some exceptional sprinters down the years – headed by Black Caviar and Dayjur and – but KA YING RISING is doing things that just aren’t supposed to happen in world-class 1200m contests" ✍️ @gcunning12

830 flight back to Liverpool delayed until 22.50. Wondered why the bars were still rammed as I galloped through and down to gate 110! Irish Champions Festival reaction: Graham Cunningham on Sunday action

Wasn’t alone in wondering if Delacroix was that kind of good. But now we know - and round three with the Ombuds would be a fitting autumn showpiece.

I’m tipping this youth on the 7.40 Ryanair flight from Lpool to Dub City might be leopardstown bound, too.

‘The margins for error can be extremely tight when a star moves from set weights contests to conceding 20lb or more to smart rivals in high-class handicaps and Ka Ying Rising isn’t the only horse in Sunday’s race who made huge strides last season.’

Enjoyed writing this - and the new season starts with a bang when the brilliant Ka Ying Rising reappears on Sunday.
✍️ "Romantic Warrior remains a formidable battler and a clash with a genuine European A-Lister or two would make for a tremendous HKIR highlight." 🏇🇭🇰 @gcunning12 sets the scene ahead of the new racing season in @HongKong_Racing... https://t.co/DFL9AWI5ZD

Geoff came out of retirement to win the 1980 Sprint Cup on Double Form. I got his autograph on the old card betting ticket afterwards and kept it - partly ripped so the bookie knew it had been paid - for years.

Bruce Raymond and now Geoff Lewis gone in the same week. My two go-to riders when I used to leg it from school to see the last couple of races at midweek Haydock meetings. So sad.
