The latest in world horse racing news from the journalists at Idol Horse.
Zac Purton had seven serious options for the opening leg of Hong Kong’s Four-Year-Old Classic Series. He could only choose one.
In this episode of the Idol Horse News Desk, Michael Cox is joined by chief journalist David Morgan to break down why Zac Purton committed to Sagacious Life for the Hong Kong Classic Mile, what it means for rivals like Invincible Ibis and Little Paradise, and how that single decision sends ripple effects through the entire Classic Series – and the Derby beyond.
From ratings logic and jockey dominance to the knock-on effects for trainers, owners, and rival riders, this is a deep dive into the most influential call of the Hong Kong season so far.
