Departing trainer Lam Hung-fie appears to have a top chance of going out with a winner courtesy of Laser Pride in the fourth event on tomorrow night's tough Happy Valley card.

Laser Pride certainly looks banker material in this middle pin to the Triple Trio, for which there is a small jackpot of $9.71 million.

It was Ah-fie who did something that has led to racing history in Hong Kong.

He signed the then little known Basil Marcus as his stable jockey for the start of the 1990-91 season.

Marcus' reputation had not been established outside South Africa, though he had made an impact in a short stint in Britain immediately prior to his arrival.

Six championships later, Marcus is one of the greats of the Hong Kong turf and, significantly, it is he to whom Ah-fie has turned to in this important fourth event.
