Hong Kong Stewards Cup
The Hong Kong Stewards Cup is an important part of Hong Kong Betting as it is the first leg of the Hong Kong Triple Crown which is often considered the Holy Grail of racing in Hong Kong. The Triple Crown consists of three races of increasing distance that horses try and win to claim the trophy and huge prize money, with the Stewards Cup coming first on the calendar in late January.
The race is a Group1 Race on its own and can be very valuable for the winner whether they try and go for the Triple Crown or not. The race will always attracts the best milers around as it is run over 1600 metres, Good Ba Ba has won in 2008 and 2009 and he is also a double winner of the Group 1 Hong Kong Mile.
The Hong Kong Stewards Cup Odds will be hugely interesting for 2010 with any number of horses likely to be in with a shout. Andreas Schutz has won the race for the last two years with Good Ba Ba so his horses are always worth keeping an eye on in the betting. Tony Cruz is another trainer with a good record in this one so it is worth keeping note of his entries.
