This season we are going to be using our Hong Kong AI analysis developed for HRN's machine learning and advanced analytics.

Race 8 - 9:10 a.m. ET - International Jockeys' Championship 4th leg

Trifecta - 9,12 with 1,9,10,12 with all 

Normally we're not a fan of the all button, but looking at the AI speed ratings there is almost no difference between the 5th and 12th ranked horses. 

No. 12 Storming Dragon breaks from post 8 with top Australian jockey Rachel King aboard and has the highest AI speed rating with anticipated odds of 4-1. 

Other close contenders include no. 9 Spicy Gold, no. 1 Sugar Sugar and no. 10 Giant Leap ridden by top Hong Kong jockey Zac Purton. After that its a crapshoot, thus the all button for third. 

Coverage of the entire Hong Kong Thoroughbred season at Horse Racing Nation is made possible through a sponsorship by the Hong Kong Jockey Club.
