Sha Tin selections for Sunday, March 12, 2017
Speedy Longwah was found to have an irregular heartbeat after a last-place finish in a minor handicap at Sha Tin Racecourse in Hong Kong in late November. The condition has been successfully treated. In three subsequent starts, Speedy Longwah has returned to win, finish third, and finish a troubled sixth in his last start.

Jockey Joao Moreira won eight races on Sunday’s 11-race program at Sha Tin Racecourse in Hong Kong, a record for a single program in Hong Kong. Moreira had 10 mounts on the program.
It had been a long, long time since Long River won a race, but the 7-year-old American expatriate, perhaps with an assist from a speed-favoring racing surface, finally broke through Saturday at Meydan in the Group 1, $400,000 al Maktoum Challenge Round 3.
Hong Kong selections for Sunday, March 5 at Sha Tin.
Arrogate might be taking a spin around the Santa Anita track or a nap in his stall Saturday morning when Round 3 of the Al Maktoum Challenge is contested at Meydan Racecourse in Dubai. The Group 1, $400,000 dirt race at about 1 ¼ miles is the final local prep for the $10 million Dubai World Cup on March 25, but it is highly unlikely anything that happens in the Super Saturday feature will turn a hair on the World Cup favorite waiting across the world in California.
