Lor Hoping Year Of Pig Is 'More Than Lucky' For Him
Hong Kong’s most promising conditioning star Frankie Lor is aiming Morethanlucky (128lb) for tomorrow's feature event - The Chinese New Year Race day at Sha Tin.
Lor has saddled almost a hundred winners in your first season and a half, including two at the Hong Kong International Races and three of the first four in the Hong Kong Classic Mile.
Lor has been 'more than lucky' for the More Than Ready colt who was rated just 53 after seven unplaced efforts for Benno Yung when he joined Lor in the summer of 2017.
Five wins and almost HK$6.5 million in prize money later, the 11YO gelding lines up for the HK$2.625 million contest to mark the Year of the Pig by from a mark of 103 against just five rivals as one of the prime contenders for a race won in the past by Hong Kong luminaries like Super Kid, Good Ba Ba and Glorious Days.
The jockey Lor refers to is Alexis Badel, who rode Morethanlucky for the first time when second in a Gr.3 contest at Sha Tin on 1 January.
