Flintshire, String King seeking title defenses in weekend
stakes
Flintshire (Dansili) will face a stiff challenge on Sunday at Sha Tin in the
Hong Kong Vase (HK-G1). The globetrotting star prevailed as the even-money
choice in last year’s contest but this time around will have to contend with
well-regarded sophomores Highland Reel (Galileo) and Dariyan (Shamardal) as well
as the peaking Cannock Chase (Lemon Drop Kid).
At Fair Grounds on Saturday, popular gelding
String King (Crowned King) will be going for a Grand Slam on
TwinSpires.com Louisiana
Champions Day. The bay seven-year-old has captured three editions of the
Louisiana Champions Day Turf and will be trying for win number four.
