orthern Hemisphere racing has already had its early season highlights with quality races featuring exceptional horses in Europe, the USA, Japan, Singapore and Hong Kong. As a senior racing fan, I am one who has been looking forward as impatiently as anyone for the chance of witnessing a American Triple Crown winner for the first time in more than three decades. Thirty-seven years have gone by since the mighty Affirmed achieved the Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes and Belmont Stakes sweep, and now we have a 12th American Triple Crown hero. Watching the Belmont Stakes on TV I can imagine how ecstatic the spectators at Belmont must have been and congratulate trainer Bob Baffert who has finally captured racing’s Holy Grail. And to salute to the horse’s magnificent achievement, we’ve selected American Pharoah as the cover star of Black Type’s Issue 8. Text : Stephen Chui

H
istory is written by the victors. Brazilian rider Joao Moreira registered 145 winners to claim his first Hong Kong Champion Jockey title, having swept
past Douglas Whyte’s previous single-season record of 114 wins, set in 2006, early in April. Former champion jockey Zac Purton who has proved himself one of the best jockeys in the world, claimed 95 winners this season, but Moreira just seemed unstoppable. Both jockeys were suspended a similar number of times during the season. So what explains the large discrepancy between their totals? The answer seems not only to concern the quality of rides. There may be some deeper reasons, which we will discuss in this season review. Text: Cho Chau Wah

潘頓遇上表現突出的莫雷拉，未能蟬聯冠軍亦無話可說。 Zac Purton finishes second to Joao Moreira in the premiership but still earns great respect.

As the season approached its end John Size launched his brand new heavy weapons, Thewizardofoz, Sun Jewellery and So Fast in a bid to clinch the Champion Trainer title. But John Moore soon fought back with a series of winners, which included a treble on June 24th, when he’d only just returned from England where he’d been preparing Able Friend for The Queen Anne Stakes. His three winners that day were People’s Knight, Chevalier Star and Secret Sham. They followed a double with Cheeky Too and Smartman at the rainy June 21th meeting. And these were followed by winners on the next two race days - Griffindor, One More World and Dashing Fellow – which effectively sealed the deal. Caspar Fownes, as ever, shows no signs of giving in, with I’m In Charge winning a Class One race and Gun Pit extending his unbeaten record to six. But as the last few meetings arrived even he must have realised he had left himself too much to do.

界各地馬圈向來對三冠馬王此項殊榮推崇備至，香港歷來只有「翠河」 登上三冠馬王寶座，而日本最近一匹三冠王則是名駒「黃金巨匠」。

That was until American Pharoah came along. The Bob Baffert-trained 3YO landed the Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes and Belmont Stakes to become the first Triple Crown winner in 37 years and just the 12th ever, putting his name alongside other legends such as Citation, Secretariat and Seattle Slew.

Singapore in May. Main events of the Singapore International Racing Festival include the SGD$3 million Singapore Airlines International Cup (2000m) and the SGD$1 million KrisFlyer International Sprint (1200m) and, following Military Attack and Lucky Nine sweeping both races in 2013 and Dan Excel and Lucky Nine (again) striking the double in 2014, the Hong Kong contingent continued its domination this year. In 2015, Dan Excel, ridden by Tommy Berry, defeated the 2013 champion Military Attack to defend the Cup and make it a hat-trick of wins for trainer John Moore. Meanwhile, jockey Zac Purton partnered Aerovelocity to win the Sprint in style, meaning the horse won his third international Group One in six months, following the Hong Kong Sprint and Takamatsunomiya Kinen in Japan – an unprecedented achievement in Hong Kong’s racing history.

horse I owned was called Heart To Heart and the next two were Conjuring and The Grand Roof, whose Chinese names meant ‘speaking the same language’ and ‘speaking
in decent tone’. The names were chosen as an expression of my wish for smooth cooperation between me and my Chinese trainer, Leung Ting Wah.”

對於圈外人而言，一向都認為識得愈多練馬 師，馬主自然取得愈多貼士、愈容易贏錢，但對於 這類說法，蘇啟聲不敢苟同，若然聽多了所謂貼 士，反而輸錢愈多，而他就有自己投注馬匹的心 得：「對於投注馬匹方面，你接觸愈久，就知道不 要聽貼士而投注，因為現時馬圈競爭非常激烈， 每位練馬師都盡力去贏一場頭馬，在種種因素的 情況下，沒有必贏的貼士，因此坊間認為馬圈內 有陰謀論；不過這點亦不成立，大家都想贏得頭
馬，不可能會讓別人馬匹先贏，而自己去輸的。說 句老實話，每次賽馬，馬房內都有所謂的例牌貼 士，但對於這類貼士，我亦不會理會。至於自己如 何揀馬投注，我只會由觀察操練、試閘和賽事中 分析馬匹實力，然後揀出較好一駒下注。於自己 名下馬匹，亦只會問練馬師對牠們的專業意見， 如馬匹狀態、質素、路程方面等問題，然後才決 定是否投注在牠們身上。事實上一匹馬的黃金時 期在4或5歲，在這段期間馬匹的進步很難估計， 可以很好，但亦可以停滯不前。怎樣也好，過了這 兩年黃金期後，馬匹踏入6歲就會停止進步。」
Some say that the more trainers you know, the more ‘winning’ tips you have, but Mr. So prefers relying on his own judgement: “The competition here is so keen … all trainers are trying their best to win races and so there are no such things as so-called ‘sure-win tips’. Stables give owners their own well-meant picks every meeting, but I tend to ignore the advice
and do my own analysis based on horses’ fitness and ability and on how well they have run at particular distances. I prefer to follow young horses, as horses usually reach their peak at around four or five years
of age. No matter how well managed they have been and how much progress they have made, after they turn six, most of them will stop improving.”

在香港做馬主，有很多人都認為可名利雙 收，因此視賽馬是一項投資，不過這想法，對於 身為出色企業家的蘇生來看，當然是大錯特錯， 他說：「現今要養一匹馬，我估計大概都要港幣 500萬元吧―― 一匹馬的身價約250萬元，每個 月養馬支出約5萬元，一年共60萬元，保守估計 養一匹馬跑四個賽季的成本就接近500萬元， 而事實上本港有幾多馬可贏得超過港幣500萬 元的獎金？若然一匹馬一生贏3至4場，其表現 已算很好，因此如用投資角度來看養馬，這絕對 是大錯特錯。」
蘇啟聲與著名「包裝」系馬主李運強（右四）一齊到澳洲買馬。 So Kai Sing and Lee Wan Keung (fourth right), owner of the "Packing" horses, attend a sale in Australia.
People often imagine that horses can bring an owner wealth as well as fame. Mr. So, an outstanding entrepreneur, thinks this notion is just a fairy tale: “Let’s say the average price of a horse is around HKD$2.5 million and the monthly charge from the Club is around HKD$50,000. The cost of owning a
052

horse that runs for four seasons will reach approximately HKD$5 million. But how many horses can earn total prize money of HKD$5 million? Winning even three to four races in
a horse’s whole career is already a blessing. So we should never treat owning a horse as an investment.”
由蘇偉賢（右三）訓練的「共創輝煌」為蘇啟聲贏得一場快活谷 賽事。 Let Me Do, trained by Chris So Wai Yin (third right) clinches a victory at Happy Valley.
既然養馬花費如此龐大，回報率不高，但蘇 家依然不斷買馬，替舊換新，這又是甚麼原因 呢？大馬主蘇啟聲這樣回應：「既然養馬甚少有 回報，但依然有那麼多人想成為馬主，這當然有 箇中吸引之處。在我角度而言，馬場是一個社交 場所，是與一眾好友聚腳談天娛樂的地方，加 上我本身對賽馬有興趣，因此做馬主可算是一 種消遣，養馬所花費的金錢就算是一項娛樂費， 對自己而言，這支出可算有價值。」
Considering the possible economic downside of horse ownership, why is the So family still buying horses then? “It is unlikely you’ll make a fortune but there are still many
people who fancy the opportunity to be owner. The reason is that they treat the racecourse in a social context in which they can enjoy great moments with friends. This
is not an investment but an entertainment. For me, I am happy to pay for the joy.”

對於蘇生來說，他都養過自購新馬和自購 馬，兩者的分別如何，他這樣分析：「現時在我 養馬的角度來看，我喜歡養自購新馬，因為馬匹 在四班52分起步，上升空間會較多，若然進步 神速，隨時會有驚喜收穫。至於自購馬，來港後 評分已高，若然贏一至兩場，其評分可能再沒有 上升餘地，如牠沒有進步的話，隨時會在二班 賽事中坐『馬監』，加上現時買一匹自購馬大概 要港幣600至700萬元，蝕錢機會較大，所以養 自購新馬較為實際。」
Mr. So, who has owned both PPGs and PPs, says: “I prefer unraced PPGs now as they start off at a low rating of 52 points in Class Four and sometimes give you a pleasant surprise. PPs start off at higher ratings and they may reach their limit after winning one race or two races before they get ‘jailed’ by their rating. It costs HKD$6 to 7 million for a PP, meaning that that purchase will probably result in a deficit.”
蘇啟聲養過多匹良駒，捧盃次數自然亦多。 So Kai Sing has had plenty of nice gallopers, as well as plenty of trophies.
蘇啟聲對賽馬有濃厚興趣，其子蘇凱榮和其 女蘇凱欣亦是馬主，令蘇家現役養馬有7駒之多， 而各人的馬匹名字亦各有特色，蘇啟聲馬匹以「共 創」命名，而其子蘇凱榮的馬則以「世界」起，其女 蘇凱欣的馬就以「夢想」為名，三人馬匹的名字串 聯起來，正好是「共創世界夢想」，確實非常有意 思，而說起家族馬的名字由來，蘇生逐一地說： 「自己身為一個生意人，本身當然希望業務蒸蒸日 上，而做生意一定要靠一個好團隊齊齊努力才可 共創成就，因此現時我的馬以『共創』起名。至於 子女馬匹的起名靈感，來自2008年北京奧運口號 『同一個世界，同一個夢想』，而既然名字有意思， 就此沿用下去。」
對於養馬接近20年的蘇生而言，最喜歡的馬 匹是「同個世界」和「同一世界」，他詳細地說： 「『同個世界』身價高達港幣800萬元，我對此駒 甚有期望，雖然牠來港服役出賽42次，只取得4冠 3亞5季，其中勝出三級賽一月盃，不過令我印象最 深刻一仗是牠在打吡大賽中跑得亞軍，差一點就 可令我首奪這場大賽冠軍。至於『同一世界』，牠 能在國際二級賽馬會短途錦標中，以『火箭人』鬥 至平頭雙冠軍，此賽亦令我歷歷在目。

So Kai Sing’s son, Jackson and daughter, Linda also has a strong interest in racing. The trio name their horses with different sets of wording, with So Kai Sing owning the ‘Let Me’ horses, Jackson having the ‘Worlds’ and Linda having the ‘Dreams’. The combination of the three phrases means “Let Us Create the Dream to The World” in Chinese. Mr. So concludes: “As a businessman, I rely on a professional crew that consistently strive for excellence and so I name my horses ‘Let Me’ to stimulate the team spirit. Jackson and Linda took the idea from the Motto ‘One World, One Dream’ of the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics: “We are happy with the performance of our horses and perhaps this is the luck brought by their names … so we have kept them ever since.”
Same World and One World are So Kai Sing’s favourite horses: “Same World cost HKD$8 million and was highly regarded. Despite the fact that he only won four races and got three seconds and five thirds from 42 starts – one of those victories being the G3 January Cup – he did try his very best only to be narrowly beaten into second in the prestigious Hong Kong Derby. One World proved himself a real warrior and brought me some wonderful memories. I still remember how dead-heated with Rocket Man to win the G2 Jockey Club Sprint.”

儘管Seabiscuit勝出，但亦為此付上沉重代 價，原來賽事途中Woolf已察覺馬兒出腳欠順， 賽 後發現原來左前腳韌帶受傷，很多人認為 Seabiscuit的競賽生涯會就此完結，但牠與 Pollard齊齊養傷，竟然取得良好進展，人馬慢慢 可以恢復步行。Pollard曾經因傷患陷入酒精中 毒邊緣，經過治療後腳傷終於好轉，並且開始有 信心騎上馬背，及後更恢復為Seabiscuit操練， 由最初只是慢行，進展至可以踱步。Howard對 人馬可以康復感到高興，並有信心Seabiscuit可 以繼續出賽，不過就對Pollard容易受傷的舊患 感到擔心。
The victory of Seabiscuit costed him his health. Woolf realised that Seabiscuit stumbled during the race, and it was found after the race that the suspensory ligament in his left front leg was ruptured. It was generally believed that Seabiscuit would never race again, but after a rest with his partner Pollard, both of them were able to walk again. Pollard was at the brink of alcoholism in the wake of his injury. The condition of his leg improved after treatment, and he regained the confidence to sit on a horse. He began to train Seabiscuits again - from walking to trotting. Howard was pleased to see the recovery of both the rider and the horse; he believed that Seabiscuit was ready to run again, yet the fragile Pollard worried him.
Howard原本想從自己幾位馬房騎師中挑選，作為Seabiscuit復 出的主理騎師，不過Pollard向馬主懇求可以重掌帥印。終於到1940年 2月9日，這對配搭終於再度合作，角逐聖雅尼塔馬場舉行的La Jolla讓 賽，久休復出的Seabiscuit負兩個馬位得第三。到復出第三仗Seabiscuit 終於重拾勝利，於聖安東尼讓賽擊敗同主的出色賽駒Kayak II，並且跑出 場地紀錄時間。之後Howard決定讓Seabiscuit及Kayak II雙雙進軍聖雅 尼塔讓賽，七萬八千名觀眾進場，大部分是支持Seabiscuit。Seabiscuit 起步後受困，雖然很快突圍從馬群中取得領前，但在對面直路又再受碰退 居第三位。Pollard對Seabiscuit的加速力充滿信心，將坐騎拉出外疊衝 刺，結果追越對手首先衝線，終於勝出這場大賽。場內觀眾隨即起哄，並 且出現混亂，希望一睹Seabiscuit的風采。

many big names from overseas have been here to fight for fame and glory. Ed Dunlop, who will celebrate his 47th birthday in October, is undoubtedly one of the legends. Dunlop has trained two Hong Kong Vase winners - Ouija Board (2005)
and Red Cadeaux (2012); one Hong Kong Cup winner, Snow Fairy, and more than twenty G1 race winners in England, Ireland, France, Japan and Canada, earning a tremendous global reputation globally. Text: Wai Ho

W: Did you encounter any difficulties when you first started training? D: I took over Alex Scott’s place but I had to deal with all the troubles in the stable by myself. I can still recall how bad the situation was. I was so lucky to be supported by Sheikh Maktoum, the ruler of Dubai, who put fifty horses in my stable. I was an employed trainer in the newly founded Gainsborough Stables and was assisted by a whole team of elite horsemen. The team enjoyed great success there and then we moved to La Grange in late 2008.

“Able” has become the trademark for Dr. Li's horses since he joined the Moore team. “Usually my wife is responsible for the Chinese names of our horses,” Dr Li said. “Our first horse trained by John was named Able Saint in Britain and I liked it very much. But if we translated the name, in Chinese it literally meant ‘winning in this stride’ but it sounded a bit too vulgar in Cantonese. So we amended the Chinese name a bit to "Bo Bo Saint", which has an even better meaning – ‘winning in every stride’. Able Saint won five races in Class One and Two during his four seasons in Hong Kong and other "Able" horses ran alright, too. So there has not been an excuse to change it. “Able One landed the 2011 Hong Kong Mile with Able Friend winning a Class Two 1600m on international day in 2013. In 2014 it was Able Friend's turn to triumph in the Mile. I would be more than happy if he can defend the title again this year.”

Nevertheless, Royal Ascot was the only race meeting held at Ascot until 1939, after which other meetings were finally organised on a regular basis. Founded by the Queen, Ascot was administered by the representative appointed by the Monarch; in 1913, Ascot Authority was established by an Act of Parliament, Her Majesty’s representative was therefore appointed to be the Senior Trustee to manage the racecourse with the Board until the present day.

香港馬球隊 致勝心法 由於本港目前僅得一個位於石崗的馬球場， 所以香港馬球隊若要進行訓練，就需要與其他鄰 近地區的馬球會合作，如新加坡馬球會、泰國Thai Polo & Equestrian Club及Polo Escape等，透 過場地借用進行常規訓練，甚至安排友誼賽或正 馬球運動的速度與節奏感令Kwan Lo著迷。 Kwan Lo is fascinated by the fast pace of polo.
式賽事，增加實戰經驗。一如所有運動，練習機 會愈多，表現一定愈好，但其實隊員間的默契更 為重要。
事實上，部份港隊隊員各屬不同馬球隊，但 當香港馬球隊需要出賽時，大家總會團結一致以 代表香港。「於馬球運動的世界裡，團隊精神有 著舉足輕重的作用。就以今年6月初於韓國的比 賽為例，當時面對的兩支隊伍實力強橫，但我們 最終能順利勝出，所依靠的並非運氣，而是各隊 友間完美的默契。」
The secret of Hong Kong Polo Team’s success At present there aren’t any suitable polo fields for training in Hong Kong so the Hong Kong Polo Team must coordinate with neighbouring areas to organise training sessions, such as Singapore Polo Club, Thai Polo & Equestrian Club and Polo Escape. The team can gain experience through using their fields for regular training, friendly and formal matches. Same as other sports, the more practice the team has, the better the performance. The collaboration among members is also the key to success. While some members of Hong Kong Polo Team might also belong to other teams they always play together when Hong Kong Polo Team has matches. ‘In the world of polo, the team spirit is very important. For example, both teams of the match held in South Korea in earlyJune were strong, our victory was not due to sheer luck but the impeccable collaboration between members,’ explained Kwan Lo.

The Inner Quality Apart from the trust among team members, Kwan Lo also highlighted the importance of players’ mental condition. Players easily become feverish during the very speedy matches, plus the fact that collision is very common in matches, the excited players may have difficulties in making rational decisions. In such a rapid sport, a slight mistake could have terrible consequences. ‘Therefore, players must keep calm all the time. The moment a player loses the rationality is perhaps that his or her team loses the match,’ he explained. Kwan Lo was confident of the future of polo in Hong Kong, although the city-state does not have its own polo club to date. ‘Asia Polo World has been promoting the sport and supporting its development in Hong Kong unconditionally, hoping to gain public attention and raise funds. The sport is actually long established in Hong Kong, and so we believe that the sport will develop and become more popular in the future.’ For those who is interested in participating polo, there are some riding schools in Hong Kong which are open to public.
講求頭腦與情緒 同時Kwan Lo亦指出，除了隊員間的友愛互 信，各人的心理質素也極為重要。始終馬球運動易 於發生肢體碰撞，而且有相當速度，種種因素也容 易令人情緒高漲；偏偏，高漲的情緒容易影響判斷 力，而在一個講求速度的運動中，輕微的錯誤也可 引致嚴重影響。「所以，大家均須保持頭腦冷靜及 平靜的情緒，當失去冷靜的一刻，可能就是輸掉該 場比賽的時候。」 雖然香港暫時仍未有自己的馬球會，但Kwan Lo對馬球運動於香港的發展仍然充滿信心。「Asia Polo World一直不遺餘力地推動香港的馬球運動 發展，並積極地進行推廣，希望能引起更多人的關 注及認識，以及籌集更多資金。其實這項運動於 香港已有一定的歷史，所以我們相信，馬球運動將 於香港可以有更大的發展，並會愈來愈受歡迎。」 據知香港現時有幾所騎術學校讓公眾學習馬術， 有興趣的讀者不妨留意一下。

Interestingly, the heirs of the founder owning the business had no intention of selling it despite the great success. ‘Mian Teck gains its reputation and fame in the industry by collaborating with brands and designers from Britain, the United States, France and Japan for years. Last year, the manufacturing business was expanded to becoming a retailer as well; Chavana, a highend jewllery brand, was developed to celebrate the 100 th anniversary of the business,’ said Sitthidej Chavanaves, the fourth generation of the founder and the director of the jeweller.

逢出席拍賣會，我首要擔當的角色既不是育馬者，也不是馬販，而是練 馬師。同時我會設身處地代入馬主的身份，務預求在購入馬匹的過程
當中，為馬主爭取最大利益。作為練馬師，我在拍賣會中努力尋找真正的運 動員。馬匹本身並不懂閱讀有關於自己血統資料的篇章，但若然我可以將牠 們訓練成馬王級賽駒，牠們將來便有機會為自己寫下新的一頁。
No one can tell me that if Vancouver or Pierro had light pages, although neither of they did, that people would not want to send their mares to them. Both of these Champions are magnificent physical types and both were the superior 2YOs of their respective years. Those are the traits that breeders wish to replicate and I wish to purchase at the yearling sales. When a yearling walks out of its stable either on the farm or at the sales complex I tend to have an immediate reaction. I tend to equate it to a pretty girl or handsome man walking into a room. They may take your breath away at first sight and with closer inspection your intrigue may grow or dwindle. This is the exact same with horses and on the other side of the coin, some just walk out lackadaisical and become quite unmemorable. I can assure you that every one of my Champion racehorses made an immediate impact on me.

hether a 10-month racing season is too long depends on one’s role … those closely related to racing definitely have some mixed
feelings. For horse owners and punters, they probably can’t get enough meetings, but for jockeys and trainers, life can get pretty hectic. Having experienced 700 races a year, they understand clearly that you can’t guarantee success, no matter how well your horse is going.
同一道理，我輩賽馬傳媒工作者，冷眼旁 觀，可做只是將我識我見如實報道，資訊留待讀 者消化。所謂資訊不外圖文，筆者介乎兩方面， 有拍攝也有執筆，發放前仍得深思熟慮，不能 單憑硬件如一幀圖片，或重點人物一句說話公 告天下，畢竟眼看耳聽，假亦真時真亦假，如何 分析消息來源，有心無意，又或剎那景象是一廂 情願，還是內有玄機，完全靠經驗判斷，當中既 有先見之明，亦有後知後覺，說到尾，俗話一句， 「有早知，冇乞兒」！
自從呱呱墮地那天起，只要一息尚存，就如 不歸路只可勇往直前。人生很現實，長江後浪推 前浪，不進則退，如是者會被淘汰，很殘酷；沒辦 法！馬圈是小社會，強如13屆冠軍韋達，他富甲 一方，尚且要接受臉孔脫金，榮耀聲勢一季比一 季褪色，草根如我既無法改變世界，更無力扭轉 生活原則，這不足兩個月短促暑期，當前急務是 找個喘息空間，回來再面對未來大小戰役。說真 的，各行各業各有難處，疲憊，是賽馬工業元素， 希望稍儲新鮮感，新一季跟各界一起，精神奕奕 再戰江湖！
2014/2015年度馬季全季總投注額創下歷來最高紀錄，達到一千零七十九億港元，比上季上升百分之五點八。這是 總投注額連續第三個馬季創出新高，並且是第二次突破一千億港元大關。 Turnover for the season finale came in at $1.758 billion, which in turn carried the season’s overall turnover to a new high of $107.9 billion, up 5.8% on last season: that record represents the third consecutive season that a new pinnacle has been reached and is the second time that the figure has topped the $100 billion mark.
