Do The Bookies’ 2019 Hong Kong Sprint Odds Beat The Clock?

With the four big feature races spanning the entire gamut of horse racing, the Hong Kong Cup has something for everyone. In the 2019 Hong Kong Sprint odds Beat The Clock, for instance, gets a great 8/1 from bookies like Unibet (one of the best online betting sites in Hong Kong today) but there’s also the Mile, Vase and Hong Kong Cup itself all up for grabs too. So which horses should you be looking out for as this fun packed racing card gets underway at Sha Tin?
The 2019 Hong Kong Sprint odds Beat The Clock is attracting might be on the drift but it’s still got a great chance at 8/1 with Ivictory at the same price and the pair only bettered by Mr Stunning which gets a rather nice 5/2 at Unibet and the 7/4 favorite Hot King Prawn. Run over just 1200m this is a fast paced thriller and whilst Fine Needle and D B Pin both only get 10/1 they’re still not out of the running although it’s strangely the 14/1 shot Little Giant that’s getting the attention.
Likewise there’s a fair bit of money backing Sir Dancealot at 16/1, although I suspect much of that is each way. If you like to bet on sports in Hong Kong perhaps that’ll be a good wager for you too, although do remember that’s an awfully short race for a field to sort itself out in and the strong starters are definitely going to be the ones to back. Maybe that’s why the 2019 Hong Kong Sprint odds Beat The Clock is garnering are quite so optimistic, it does, after all, start well.
Sprint, Vase, Mile & Cup All Up For Grabs In Hong Kong
Meanwhile over the slightly longer distance of 1600m the Hong Kong Mile pits the whole field against Beauty Generation who gets an almost unassailable 4/5 with Mozu Ascot and Persian Knight only able to garner 7/1 from the bookies like Unibet, themselves streets ahead of One Master at 12/1. Beauty Only and Southern Legend both get 14/1 but honestly won’t even place in the race and those 2019 Hong Kong Sprint odds Beat The Clock gets are a way better wager.
Of course Beauty Generation might disappoint on the day, these things have been known to happen but anyone taking advantage of Hong Kong gambling laws to back a horse in the Mile would be a lunatic to back anyone else winning. Perhaps similarly over the long haul that is the Hong Kong Vase, a 2400m slog, you’d have to be a little silly not to back Waldgeist who gets a very reasonable 7/2 at Unibet ahead of Mirage Dancer, Capri and Lys Gracieuz all getting 6/1.

Does that mean Waldgeist will run away with it? Perhaps, but I’d wonder if the best bet isn’t something on Pakistan Star at 12/1 to place in the race if you’re not into on the nose action. For nose-to-nose action you have to check out the Hong Kong Cup itself, a race with a hugely attractive HK$20,000,000 purse over 2000m where Sungrazer and Deirdre are both 2/1 favorites leaving Werther behind on 4/1 and Time Warp drifting away to 6/1 and only a place finish hope.
The 2019 Hong Kong Sprint odds Beat The Clock gets then, are tempting, but there’s so many great wagers on offer at Unibet during this superb meeting that you can find several perfect choices. Whether it’s Gold Mount at 14/1 in the Cup, the 10/1 shot Exultant in the Vase or Inns of Court in the Mile there’s something for everyone, especially those in Hong Kong gambling news on Monday will be of a surprise upset in one of these feature races. It’s almost inevitable.
