A thrilling finale to this season’s 1O1O Million Challenge is on the cards at Happy Valley on Wednesday with the top four horses in the overall standings set to make a play for the lion’s share of the $HK1 million prize fund.

In scenes the like of which Happy Valley has never before witnessed, Dennis Yip was presented with his first Hong Kong Champion Trainer trophy on Wednesday, 10 July after a deciding last-race victory that supercharged an already crackling atmosphere, to the extent that it alone may well have ignited the sparkling post-race pyrotechnics.
