Elated with the performance of the Epaulette seven-year-old, Hayes immediately outlined plans to target the Group 2 BOCHK Private Banking Jockey Club Sprint on Nov 20 as a defining dress rehearsal for the Longines Hong Kong Sprint over the same distance.
“We’ll run in the lead-up race three weeks before. He’s had two runs now and that will be his third run, and then, he’ll have his fourth run in the big one.“He’s an underrated sprinter, he’s top level, especially down the straight. “We drew the right side of the track and it was just a matter of getting him into the right rhythm,” said the five-time Hong Kong champion jockey.
