Court heading to Hong Kong

Court Masterpiece will bid to end his year on a high in the Hong Kong Mile at Sha Tin next month.

The five-year-old registered a first Group One success on his last start when he just got up to beat Caradak in the Prix de la Foret at Longchamp.

Court Masterpiece also took the Group Two Lennox Stakes at Goodwood earlier in the year and Dunlop is hoping the Polish Precedent horse can add to his tally in Hong Kong.

“We are delighted Court Masterpiece has been invited to compete in Hong Kong,” he told www.edunlop.com.

“He has enjoyed an excellent campaign and we hope he can round it off with another good performance on December 11 in the Mile.

“But whatever happens, he has had a pleasing season and we’re all looking forward to him returning to Gainsborough Stables as a six-year-old.”
