Werther was named Horse of the Year for the 2015-16 Hong Kong season partially on the strength of his win in the Group 1 Queen Elizabeth II Cup at Sha Tin Racecourse last April.
To have any chance to win that title this year, Werther will need another win in Sunday’s $2.5 million Queen Elizabeth II Cup at Sha Tin Racecourse. It is not an easy assignment. The Queen Elizabeth II Cup has drawn the last three winners of the race, including Designs On Rome (2014) and Blazing Speed (2015).

The quick gelding Sea Jade seemed to run an inexplicably poor race when 12th in a turf sprint at Happy Valley Racecourse in Hong Kong on March 15, until a post-race exam determined that the 3-year-old bled.
The diagnosis makes the loss easier to comprehend and puts the focus on Sea Jade in his return to racing in Wednesday’s $224,950 Seoul Handicap at six furlongs on turf at Happy Valley.
