Hong Kong, November 29 – The Class Four event over 1650 metres at Happy Valley on Wednesday was won by four year-old gelding Clovis, a $150,000 purchase for John Foote Bloodstock from the Yarraman Park draft at the 2005 Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale.

Fourth at his most recent outing, the Alex Wong trained Clovis was ridden a beautiful race by local jockey Howard Cheng, who posted a milestone 200th winner aboard the son of Viscount.

Bred by Ms Nickie Cramsie, a key member of the Woodlands Stud team at Denman, Clovis is the third foal of the stakes-winning St Covet mare All Classic, whose dam Rory’s Classic was also a Listed winner.

All Classic passed away in 2006 and her last foal is a yearling full sister to Clovis by Viscount.

Yarraman Park have some sensational yearlings for 2008 with outstanding drafts for both Magic Millions and Inglis sales.
