Champions Mile goes to Contentment Stormy Antarctic and Convey finished unplaced as Contentment claimed the Champions Mile at Sha Tin in Hong Kong. The Ed Walker-trained Stormy Antarctic was very keen from the start in first-time blinkers and after battling to hold him through the early stages, jockey Karis Teetan allowed the colt to stride on over three furlongs from home. However, his early efforts began to tell as the field hit top gear in the straight and Stormy Antarctic was quickly swallowed up as Contentment claimed victory for John Size and Brett Prebble. Stormy Antarctic eventually finished fifth while the Sir Michael Stoute-trained Convey was in trouble from some way out and was last of six finishers. Local star Rapper Dragon was viewed by many as the likely victor but never looked comfortable and was pulled up some way from home with what is reported to be an issue with his right hind leg.
