SERIOUS-minded bettors should beware as racing in Hong Kong kicks off with a tricky and competitive 11-race program at Sha Tin on Sunday.
The main event on the card, the six-furlong Grade Two Pilkem Handicap (10.45am) features a number of sprinters who have strong claims to form, but as usual in Hong Kong, they will need a lot of luck to have a trouble-free ride.
The top class and talented athlete, Colorful King, had to overcome the outside gate and find an uninterrupted path to his famous strong finish. Up front Rising Force had to work hard from the start to take its preferred role from an awkward draw.
The progressive Crimson Flash is winless in three attempts over the course and distance, while the handicapper may finally catch the ultra-consistent Sky Trust.
The Young Champion finally scored a late win through brave play and performance late last month, but a six-pound penalty makes life more difficult, and he will do well to confirm his position with fifth. GALACTIC JOURNEY.
The Francis Lui-trained gelding missed his chance when he leapt into the air as the gates opened in the contest and has been trailing ever since.
There is no doubt that the fast-improving son of Impending is much better than his current handicap marks and given the in-form pilot Alexis Badel, he will be hard to stop when the Frenchman presses the button and takes victory in the closing stages.
Previously on the cards, keep an eye on them INTERESTING LEGEND representing the all-conquering partnership of Caspar Fownes and Joao Moreira in the seven-furlong Jordan Handicap (9.35am).
The expensive Australian import has been a disappointment since making a winning debut last season and has tested his coach’s patience with a series of nagging health problems.
Having never been seen in his two runs this season, he suddenly appears to have improved dramatically in both his running and testing form in the last month.
In a contest full of question marks regarding his main rivals, he deserves to take his chances with the opportunities available.

A Private Blog Network (PBN) is a collection of websites that are controlled by a single individual or organization and used primarily to build backlinks to a “money site” in order to influence its ranking in search engines such as Google. The core idea behind a PBN is based on the importance of backlinks in Google’s ranking algorithm. Since Google views backlinks as signals of authority and trust, some website owners attempt to artificially create these signals through a controlled network of sites.
In a typical PBN setup, the owner acquires expired or aged domains that already have existing authority, backlinks, and history. These domains are rebuilt with new content and hosted separately, often using different IP addresses, hosting providers, themes, and ownership details to make them appear unrelated. Within the content published on these sites, links are strategically placed that point to the main website the owner wants to rank higher. By doing this, the owner attempts to pass link equity (also known as “link juice”) from the PBN sites to the target website.
The purpose of a PBN is to give the impression that the target website is naturally earning links from multiple independent sources. If done effectively, this can temporarily improve keyword rankings, increase organic visibility, and drive more traffic from search results.
