Hekili connections full of confidence

Kane Hekili, the principal Japanese hope in the Dubai World Cup, may come to Europe later in the year as part of an adventurous plan to advertise his stallion potential.

The four-year-old, owned by the ambitious Kaneko Makoto, who also has 2005 Japanese Horse of the Year Deep Impact, is being considered for a tilt at Royal Ascot’s Prince of Wales’ Stakes.
