CONGRATULATIONS to Shane Molan at Riversfield Stud in Co Limerick, and best of luck in a couple of weeks when the four-year-old he bred, Waikuku, will hopefully tackle Group 1 company at the Hong Kong International meeting.

Last weekend the son of Harbour Watch (Acclamation) lowered the colours of local hero Beauty Generation and, in the process, landed a well-deserved first stakes victory. Previously the bay gelding had been placed in a number of Hong Kong’s best races, notably finishing second in the Derby there.
