Champion jockey Darren Beadman and expat trainer John Moore will be looking for redemption on Hong Kong International day at Sha Tin tomorrow, reports The Age.
A year ago the pair teamed to be runners-up in three of the four International races on what is the equivalent of Melbourne Cup day for Hong Kong's thriving racing industry.
''This is the day what we gear our horses to. It is like our Melbourne Cup, Sydney autumn carnival or Japan Cup,'' Beadman said.

Collection, which chased home Vision D'Etat in the Hong Kong Cup returns for another crack at the 2000-metre feature, as does One World in the Hong Kong Sprint after its half-length defeat by Sacred Kingdom 12 months ago, but it will be ridden by Jeff Lloyd on Sunday. Beadman is in his fourth year as stable rider for Moore in Hong Kong and their only success on International day came when Inspiration caused a shock in the Sprint.
