Sha Tin Sunday racing tips & quaddie picks | December 17, 2023
| What | Sha Tin Races |
| Where | Sha Tin Racecourse – Tai Po Rd, Sha Tin District, Hong Kong |
| When | Sunday, December 17, 2023 |
| First Race | 1pm HKT (4pm AEDT) |
Hong Kong racing returns to Sha Tin on Sunday afternoon with a massive 10-race program set to get underway at 1pm local time. There is a mix of turf and all-weather races lined up, with the rail moved to the B position on the turf circuit. The track should be a Good 4, although warm weather and high humidity will provide testing conditions for all participants.
Best Bet: Invincible Sage
Invincible Sage has skyrocketed into Class 2 company after kicking off his campaign with back-to-back wins. Both victories have come at this course and distance — the latest on November 11, when the son of Thronum saluted in the shadows of the post after a checkered run. It was a stunning performance to the eye, and with 6.5kg less in the saddle, Invincible Sage will take a power of beating.
Best Bet
Race 7 – 
#7 Invincible Sage (7)
4yo Gelding | T: David Hall | J: Zac Purton (54.5kg)
Next Best: Karma
Karma was tested at Happy Valley for the first time on November 15 and briefly looked the winner before an airborne Chill Chibi took over in the closing stages. Although he was defeated by a length on the wire, the Turn Me Loose gelding seemed to appreciate the step up in trip, so the mile back at his favoured track should be no issue. Vincent Ho sticks from a soft draw in barrier four, and with a genuine tempo to sprint off, watch for Karma to be finishing best.
Next Best
Race 9 – 
#6 Karma (4)
5yo Gelding | T: Caspar Fownes | J: Vincent Ho (56.5kg)
Best Value: Celestial Colours
Formerly known as Ringmaster in Australia, Celestial Colours made his Hong Kong debut for the Jamie Richards barn on November 19 and gave every indication he’s settled in nicely. He was urged to sit outside the lead on that occasion, with the son of Zoustar knocking up late on a strong tempo throughout the 1200m journey. They smashed the clock that day, and with the quinella pair franking the form last weekend, Celestial Colours can give each-way players a bold sight second-up.
Best Value
Race 10 – 
#2 Celestial Colours (8)
4yo Gelding | T: Jamie Richards | J: Lyle Hewitson (60kg)
