BATMAN wrote: Good luck to him. Hope he does well as it is always nice seeing our riders do well.Although i honestly believe it is a bit soon to go, he recently came back from riding in australia and with a reason of being homesick, he has just got acquainted with some very decent horses of MDK and i think he should have stayed another season at least, some of those horses that he has won big races on look to be very decent. We can say that hong kong stakes are huge but if he is not with a top stable he could battle a bit and if he came back home it might not be easy to pick up where he left off.

Remember his license only runs to July, he will most probably be back for next season unless he performs incredibly over the next 6 or 7 weeks in HK

Two fourth placed finishes on his 1st two rides(unfancied) in HK, pleasing start for the talented young rider

Great to see Callan ride his first winner, the way he changed his whip hand was class

.....did not think that HK was the ideal place for young Callan......but he is really adaptive and that ride on Lucky Year is going to get the trainers there to sit up and take notice....he is going to get more choice rides from now on......

The hunger this boy rides with mixed in with his great feel for pace is so refreshing to see! Really proud that he is born and bred South African. Well done!
