SURPRISE HONG KONG WIN FOR KINANE Michael Kinane capped off a memorable 2002 when partnering Precision to a shock win in the Hong Kong Cup, the highlight of a star-studded card at Sha Tin.Kinane was teaming up with local trainer David Oughton, with whom he has enjoyed great success in the past, as the unconsidered 65/1 chance responded to a strong drive for a narrow victory over German raider Paolini. The 12 times Irish champion will now take a well deserved winter break.Grandera was sent off the odds-on favourite for this ten furlong Group 1 race. However the Godolphin globe-trotter could never get in a serious blow under Frankie Dettori eventually finishing seventh in the 12 runner international field, just ahead of David Elsworth`s Indian Creek.Alan Magee
