A fast-closing third first-up this season in September, the HKJC Racing Club Limited-owned Young Arrow won once from two starts in Singapore before arriving in Hong Kong. Whyte feels the four-year-old, sired by Showtime, has what it takes to thrive in his new surroundings.
“He's a thorough gentleman and he looks like he's going to be a very nice horse. He could possibly work his way into Class 2. That's the feel he gives you in the morning and mentally he has settled down,” Whyte said.
The 66-rating Australian-bred has placed third twice from three starts in Hong Kong, both times over tomorrow night's course and distance. Karis Teetan rides again from gate No 6, assigned 56kg against 11 opponents.
“He's doing things the right way and that's all you can ask of him at the moment,” Whyte said. “I think that he is probably going to be a lovely 1400m horse.”
Young Arrow's sole pre-import win came on the Polytrack at Kranji over 1100m for trainer Daniel Meagher.
