Global Sprint Challenge

Any chance that JJ will have a crack at this?

The complete series of races in the Global Sprint Challenge:
# 31 January: Gr1 Coolmore Lightning Stakes (1000m) Flemington
# 16 June: Gr1 King's Stand Stakes (5 furlongs) Royal Ascot
# 20 June: Gr1 Golden Jubilee Stakes (6 furlongs) Royal Ascot
# 10 July: Gr1 Darley July Cup (6 furlongs) Newmarket
# 13 September: Gr2 Centaur Stakes (1200m) Hanshin
# 4 October: Gr1 Sprinters Stakes (1200m) Nakayama
# 7 November: Gr1 Patinack Farm Classic (1200m) Flemington
# 13 December: Gr1 Cathay Pacific Hong Kong Sprint (1200m) Sha Tin

Races in Australia, England, Japan and Hong Kong. Champion determined by points system. Must run in at least 3 of the countries. US$1m bonus to the champion of it wins at least 3 Gr1's in three different countries.

Apache Cat won the series last year.

Not exactly easy to win the bonus. If the horse doesn't go to Aus, it means having to win the Sha Tin race and the Nakayama race, and one of the three England races.

What no Breeders Cup - lol!

The only Race I hope he sweves is the 16th Ascot 5f (although it could be a nice blow out for the 6F). I still believe it's a tad to sharp for our JJ - BUT 6F 20th 'Lump on!'

All the best to ALL of JJ's connections on whatever races they decide for the Champ this year - ouzo, Jim.
