Rakti ready for Hong Kong test

RAKTI will bid to end his illustrious career on a high in the Cathay Pacific Hong Kong Mile at Sha Tin on Sunday week.

The enigmatic six-year-old, the winner of six Group One races, is due to take up stallion duties at the Huma Park Stud in Co Kildare next year.

Although Rakti finished second to Falbrav in 2003 in the 10-furlong Hong Kong Cup and seventh behind Alexander Goldrun in the same race 12 months ago, connections have decided to go for the shorter option this time.
