Stakeswinners to Hong Kong for the new season

Breednet - Friday September 7
With the new Hong Kong season kicked off there have been some interesting Australian based gallopers left our shores in the past couple of months for a new future headlined by a Group One winner, Group One placegetter and a couple of other stakeswinners.

Dark DreamThis year's Gr1 Queensland Derby winner, Dark Dream left for his new home on August 20 and is the third winner of that race in a row to be sold to Hong Kong, with 2017 winner Ruthven and 2016 winner Eagle Way also heading that way.
