Females in line to dominate Hong Kong International Races

Kiwi mare Sunline holds off Hong Kong champion Fairy King Prawn to win the 2000 Hong Kong Mile. She remains the only filly or mare to have won the Mile, a race which features two top female gallopers this year - France's Moonlight Cloud and England's Sky Lantern.

Three years since the last female winner at the $72 million Longines Hong Kong International Races extravaganza, it will be the superstar girls who hold the spotlight for the world turf championships at Sha Tin on December 8.

Twenty seven foreign invitees from France, Japan, Great Britain, the United States, Ireland, Germany and Australia, with dozens of Group One wins to their collective credit, will face off with 28 local runners in next month's four-race showpiece, and champion Japanese sprinter Lord Kanaloa will have to battle for top billing with the female sensations Moonlight Cloud, Sky Lantern and The Fugue.
