Bomber & Roly fail to shine in Hong Kong Mile Lancaster Bomber and Roly Poly failed to make their presence felt as Beauty Generation won the Hong Kong Mile at Sha Tin. Aidan O'Brien's runners were partnered by Ryan Moore and Seamie Heffernan respectively, but they made little impact as the John Moore-trained winner powered home. Derek Leung had his mount smartly away, managing to tack over to the rail from his mid-field draw to set the pace as both the Ballydoyle runners were deep in the pack. Beauty Generation was still in control with two furlongs to run and although Western Express and Helene Paragon tried to challenge, the winner kept finding for pressure. Lancaster Bomber made some late headway, eventually running on into fifth but Roly Poly struggled up the straight and finished last, while David Simcock's Lightning Spear was also unplaced. Leung said: "I'm very, very happy, the horse ran very well." Both Moore and Heffernan felt the race had perhaps not panned out in their favour. Moore said: "I got a reasonable break and position, but I didn't have a lot of room when I needed it." Heffernan added: "It was always going to be tricky from her draw on the outside and that's the way it panned out unfortunately."
