Prebble insists Packing Whiz is unbeatable in Champions Mile
Prebble insists his ride is best contender in Champions Mile, but bleeding remains a concern
Jockey Brett Prebble insists Packing Whiz is simply "the best horse in the race" in tomorrow's Champions Mile - on one proviso.
He and trainer Caspar Fownes hope his bleeding issues do not reappear, especially given the unseasonably cool weather.
The absence of Ambitious Dragon had already left a void in the HK$12 million Group One at Sha Tin, and the field yesterday fell to just nine with the withdrawal of John Moore's Admiration, after he suffered a severe quarter crack at trackwork.
That leaves Glorious Days as the horse to beat, but Prebble was adamant nothing can stop his horse if fully fit.
I just feel that if he is healthy, he'll win, and that he is the best horse in the race. He has the best turn of foot in town
"I just feel that if he is healthy, he'll win, and that he is the best horse in the race," Prebble said. "He has the best turn of foot in town. The horse has issues, but if Caspar can keep him healthy and he brings his A game, I don't think there is anything that can go with him when he lets go."
Packing Whiz produced a sub-22-second final 400m when he blew rivals away last start in the Group Two Chairman's Trophy, his first run for Fownes.
