Highfield Princess, the top sprinter, has decided to skip the Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint in favor of participating in the Hong Kong Sprint at Sha Tin on December 10th. This decision comes after her impressive win at the Prix de l'Abbaye on the Arc card at ParisLongchamp.
Highfield Princess, who has won four Gr.1 races, was the favorite with UK-based bookmakers for the Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint, in which she placed fourth last year. However, her owners have decided to take her to Hong Kong instead, where she will face tough competition in the HK Sprint.
Many horse racing fans were disappointed to hear that Highfield Princess would not participate in the Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint, but the decision was made with her best interests in mind. The HK Sprint is a prestigious race with a large purse, and it will provide a new and exciting challenge for Highfield Princess.
The decision to skip the Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint and participate in the HK Sprint was not easy. Highfield Princess has a strong track record and is a top sprinter. However, her owners believe that the HK Sprint is the best opportunity for her to showcase her talents internationally.
The HK Sprint is one of the world's most prestigious sprint races, attracting top horses from around the globe. Highfield Princess will be facing tough competition, including some of the best sprinters from Asia and Europe. However, her owners are confident she has what it takes to compete at the highest level.
“We thought about it long and hard and there were a number of things,” said trainer John Quinn, speaking to the Daily Mirror. “The Breeders’ Cup is round a sharp turn and Hong Kong also gives us some extra time.”
