    Romantic Warrior Sweeps Hong Kong Triple Crown

    Romantic Warrior clinches the Triple Crown with a victory in the Champions and Chater Cup at Sha Tin Racecourse

    Romantic Warrior  conquered one his few remaining challenges May 24 at Sha Tin Racecourse, seeing out the 2,400 meters (about 1 1/2 miles) of the Champions and Chater Cup (G1) to become only the third claimant of the Hong Kong Triple Crown.

    The 8-year-old holds the all-time world earnings record. He has won group/grade 1 races around the world. He has repeatedly defended Hong Kong turf against some of the globe's top runners.

    He had not, however, successfully completed 2,400 meters—the test that completes a Triple Crown that covers first 1,600 meters (about 1 mile), then 2,000 meters (about 1 1/4 miles) before the final marathon.

    Raging favourite Romantic Warrior travelled effectively one-out, one-back and wore down Numbers in the concluding stages for a 24th win and all six starts this term from 31 career outings. He is one-of-a-kind and the win wrapped up a sweep of the Triple Crown. Numbers kept on gamely for second after moving forward to challenge Romantic Thor for the lead 700m out before going clear 400m out. It was a fantastic run in defeat and he is one to follow in the staying events next season. Deep Monster stayed on nicely for third after getting badly balked for a run 200m out by the winner following a prominent run on the fence. He should have finished closer. Romantic Thor grudgingly gave way after leading from gate one. It was a solid run at level weights off the lowest handicap.

    Horse racing world divided after Melbourne Cup winner hit with suspension and $120,000 fine

    Star Kiwi jockey James McDonald has been suspended and fined HK$120,000 over his ride on Romantic Warrior in the Champions & Chater Cup Group 1 in Hong Kong on Sunday. And it means the 2021 Melbourne Cup winner will miss the Queensland Oaks meeting back on Australian soil.

    McDonald steered Romantic Warrior to victory in the 2400m feature race, winning his 20th Group 1 of the season. The win saw Romantic Warrior join River Verdon and Voyage Bubble as just the third horse in history to win the ‘Triple Crown’ in Hong Kong.

    The Triple Crown includes the 1600m Stewards’ Cup, Hong Kong Gold Cup (2000m) and the Standard Chartered Champions & Chater Cup (2400m). It was the 13th time McDonald has ridden Romantic Warrior to victory.

    Hong Kong mourns victims of blaze that killed 128 and counting

    Hong Kong on Saturday mourned the 128 people known to have died in a massive fire at a high-rise apartment complex, a toll that is likely to rise with 200 others still unaccounted for days after the disaster.

    Authorities have arrested 11 people in connection with the city's worst blaze in nearly 80 years as they investigate possible corruption and the use of unsafe materials during renovations at the Wang Fuk Court complex.

    Rescue operations at the site in the district of Tai Po, near the border with mainland China, concluded on Friday, though police say they may find more bodies as they search the burnt-out buildings as part of ongoing investigations.

    As fire raced up seven high-rise towers in Hong Kong's Tai Po district, resident Ng was in a state of disbelief.

    Her husband called her to say the buildings were on fire, but since the fire alarm had not gone off, she was unsure.

    For curiosity's sake, she decided to go to the ground floor and look for herself.

    She witnessed an inferno as fire quickly spread from one building to another.

    "I came down and didn't bring anything, just wearing this outfit," she told the ABC.

    Hong Kong investigators are piecing together how the city’s worst fire in decades rapidly raged through seven high-rise buildings on Wednesday, leaving at least 94 people dead, dozens injured and scores missing.

    As fires smouldered in several apartment blocks at the Wang Fuk Court housing complex on Friday, firefighters continued searching for residents unaccounted for. Extreme heat was hampering rescue efforts, officials said.

    Rescue operations inside the Hong Kong apartment complex that was engulfed by fire on Wednesday are “almost complete”, fire officials have said, as the death toll reached 94 early on Friday with scores more missing.

    Firefighters were combing though through the high-rises on Friday, attempting to find anyone alive after the massive fire that spread to seven of eight towers, in one of the city’s deadliest ever blazes.

    Throughout the morning more families arrived at the Kwong Fuk Estate community centre, adjacent to Wang Fuk Court, to identify the bodies being pulled from the gutted buildings. Few names of the dead have been released to the public yet.
