Where/When it all started!!
Our first 2 HK boys arrived in 2001 from Pa.


Actually we were re-homing before he left for HK.

Thirteen titles. No trophies on the wall. A method nobody's been able to copy.

In his 25th season at Sha Tin, John Size remains the most successful – and most enigmatic – trainer Hong Kong racing has known. While five rivals chase the championship and reporters hunt for soundbites, Size keeps his eyes where they've always been: on the horse 🐎

We sat down with the 13-time champion to talk process, obsession, and why he still finds it all so intriguing after a quarter of a century. Read the full profile 👉 tr.ee/FTQzKm

He maybe very hairy, this lovely boy is spending some time (off property) with young (12) Miranda and her mum so he is exposed in a new atmosphere and travels.
