South African Star Mid Winter Wind Set for Hong Kong Debut

South African racing fans will have a keen eye on Sha Tin this Friday as Mid Winter Wind makes his much-anticipated Hong Kong debut in Race 10, a Class 3 event over 1200m. Now under the care of trainer Mark Newnham and set to be ridden by Luke Ferraris, the son of What A Winter brings strong credentials from his time in South Africa.

Previously trained in South Africa, Mid Winter Wind left his home turf as a four-time winner, with victories ranging from 1160m to 1400m. His standout performance came in the Grade 3 Byerley Turk Stakes, showcasing his class against top competition.

Now transitioning to Hong Kong, he faces a fresh challenge, but his versatility and proven ability suggest he could be a strong contender in his new environment. With the Ferraris-Newnham combination guiding him, expectations will be high for his debut performance at Sha Tin.

Will Mid Winter Wind make an immediate impact in Hong Kong? Racing fans will be watching closely as he takes his first step onto the competitive Hong Kong circuit.
