Another Kiwi Bred Sprint Star in HK

Media Release - Monday January 9
John Size may be forced to look further afield with his New Zealand-bred sprinter Amazing Kids.

Amazing Kids - HKJCHe produced the son of Falkirk, who as Cousin Colin was a juvenile winner for Awapuni trainer Lisa Latta, for a barnstorming win in the Group III  Bauhinia Sprint Trophy Handicap at Sha Tin on Sunday.

Size said the Group II  Centenary Sprint Cup on January 30 would be the next port of call for Amazing Kids, but that limited options between then and the Gr.1 Chairman's Sprint Prize in May could force him to look at overseas options.

"I spoke to the owner last week and, provided he's fit and well, we will look at the Al Quoz Sprint in Dubai. They've extended it from 1000m to 1200m and it would be a good race for him, I think.

"He's shown that he can accelerate well down the straight and nothing really fazes him so he would be the right type of horse to travel."
